Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz bourbon 90-95 proof
  • ¼ cup cacao nibs
  • Optional: add 1 oz simple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Add the whiskey and cacao nibs to a mason jar and seal.
  • Let the nibs infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours and up to 1 week. Each day, agitate the infusion and start checking flavor after 48 hours.
  • Once you love the flavor, strain through a metal sieve and store it in a clean glass jar. If you prefer a sweeter chocolate-infused whiskey, add 1 oz of simple syrup to the jar and store it in the fridge.
