Ingredients for the Aged & Infused Mimosas:
- Orange juice
- Aged & Infused Navel Gazer Alcohol Infusion Kit (Note: Each kit infuses 16 oz. of booze, which is enough for 7-8 cocktails depending on how strong you like your drink.) This particular infusion kit is inspired by the Old Fashioned. Enjoy the cozy, familiar flavors of tangy oranges, warm cinnamon and clove. With the full-bodied flavors of this infusion, you don’t need to add much to it – a sugar cube, bitters and good company.
If you’re new to infusing alcohol, Aged & Infused makes the process so simple with their infusion kits! Just add your pre-measured ingredients into the jar. Fill with your favorite spirit and seal for at least three days. Once you’re ready to enjoy, simply pour on the rocks, or into a cocktail! Voilà! We are confident you will love their product.
