Coffee Infused Alcohol

It is incredibly easy to infuse your favourite spirit with your favourite FiXX. And it is a great way to add a layer of flavour to a cocktail. The coffee-to-alcohol ratio we used was 1:6-7 (approx). To infuse your spirits, you will need...

What You Need

• Whole-bean coffee
• A jar or any sealable container
• A way to strain the beans. I used a V60 with filter paper, but a sieve and kitchen towel would work fine. 

Method

1. In your container of choice, add your favourite FiXX beans. If using a 700ml bottle, this would equate to 105g of coffee beans. If you want to start small, 30g of coffee in 200ml works well.
2. Next, pour in your spirit of choice. Whiskey works remarkably well. But so too will Bourbon and Vodka. These three options will lend themselves well to upcoming cocktail recipes.
3. Leave to infuse for 48 hours, occasionally stirring during this period.
4. After 48 hours, strain the coffee beans.
5. Using a funnel, you can return the coffee-infused spirit to the bottle it came from. 
6. You can now enjoy this coffee-infused drink straight away over ice. Or use it as a base to experiment with cocktails. Enjoy!
