Bourbon Infusions may be one of the most manly, yet classy gifts that you can give. With under $40 and 10 minutes of your time, you can have a DIY gift thats both personable and thoughtful.

The infusion that Im going to show you is called ‘Bourbon Apple Pie’ and it tastes amazing.

How Tom Make  Apple Pie Bourbon Infusions

Bourbon Infusions

Apples, cinnamon, vanilla Bean, and Bourbon fuse together to taste like apple pie!

If your using a 12 oz jar you will want to use about half an apple. You will Want to cut out the core and use medium slices. Then, you  throw your cinnamon stick and your vanilla bean sick into the mix. The vanilla bean is completely option, but it really takes the flavor to the next level.

Depending on how stout you want this mix to taste, you can choose to add water. If you want it to be a stronger beverage just skip this all together. If you want it to come off a little more smooth, you can add about an ounce of water.  After that, you will want to fill the jar about 8/10 full of Bourbon.

After you seal the jar, its gonna take about a week for all the flavors to fuse together.
