Shortbread Cookie-Infused Bourbon
Enjoy this creamy, buttery infused bourbon perfect to add to a bit of afternoon tea, or to an Earl Grey-inspired Manhattan. Even an old fashioned tastes better with a little buttery cookie taste in it. If you’re a fan of shortbread, this is a must-try.
Ingredients
- 3 cups bourbon
- 12 shortbread cookies
Instructions
- Place the cookies in the bottom of a mason jar and add bourbon. Make sure the bourbon covers the cookies.
- Let the jar sit, agitating the mixture about every 8-10 hours for about 36 to 48 hours. It will look a mess in the jar, but it means the flavors are melded.
- When finished infusing, strain the mixture through a metal sieve.
- Then, line a large metal sieve with a coffee filter and strain again. You may have to let the mixture sit out for several hours or overnight.
- Once strained, store in the fridge in a clean jar or bottle. Yield is 16-20 oz of infused bourbon.
