How to infuse your favorite spirits: Tips from a professional
Doctor up your favorite spirit
Negroni trio at Orafo.

A simple infusion can change everything. Sure, there's flavored alcohol like raspberry vodka and the like but it's far more fun—and interesting—to make your own. And no, we're not talking about notoriously bad ideas like nacho cheese flavored spirits. Instead, think mushroom-injected vodka, coffee-infused vermouth, and pepper-treated tequila.

These infusions can make a regular spirit all the more dynamic, improving classic cocktails like the Negroni and paving the way for brand new ones too. Perhaps best, they're relatively easy to make and don't take nearly as much time as you might think.

Where it can get trickier is with some of the specialty ingredients you see called for, like orgeat syrup or Don's Mix. But the good news is that while these ingredients might be uncommon, they are easy enough to make at home.
