What are Infused Cocktails Packets?
Infused cocktail mixing packets contain a pre-measured combination of ingredients designed to be added to spirits, mixers, and other liquids to create a specific cocktail. The packs typically include a variety of natural ingredients such as herbs, fruits, spices, and botanicals that are infused with flavor and aroma.
These packets make cocktail mixing easier and more convenient for people who enjoy making cocktails at home but may not have the time or expertise to source and prepare all the necessary ingredients. With infused cocktail mixing packets, all the ingredients are already pre-measured and ready to use, eliminating the need for extensive preparation and ensuring consistent results.
Infused cocktail mixing packets can be used to make a wide variety of cocktails, including classics like the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Manhattan, as well as more modern creations. They are typically sold in packs containing multiple servings. They can be easily stored in a pantry or cupboard until needed.
Overall, infused cocktail mixing packets can be a convenient and cost-effective way to enjoy high-quality cocktails at home without requiring extensive preparation or specialized equipment.
How to Infuse Your Drink 101
The trick to simple delicious cocktails is rapid infusion. 1pt makes it very, very easy. Just follow these simple instructions and you're on your way to the perfect cocktail!
What You Need
- a 1pt Blend Packet
- 375ml of spirits (half a standard bottle)
- A jar, pitcher, bowl, measuring cup, or any lidded vessel that holds at least 375ml of liquid (our 1pt Infusion Kit is purpose built for this)
For Standard Infusions (spirits)
- Open the 1pt Blend Packet and empty ALL of the contents into your vessel
- Add your 375ml of spirits to that same vessel and set a timer for the Infusion Time it tells you on the back of the 1pt Blend Packet
- When time's up, use a strainer to strain the now-infused spirit liquid into a suitable bottle (again, our 1pt Bar Bottle+ is the perfect thing but you can use any bottle you like), discard the used infusion blend material, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails
For Mulling (wine)
- Combine one 1pt Blend Packet with one standard bottle of wine (750ml) in a saucepan
- Simmer (do not boil) over low heat for 20-30 mins, following recipe
- Strain liquid and return to saucepan on lowest heat for serving, keep covered
