So, I'm contemplating taking a run at limoncello, but I can't find unwaxed lemons anywhere. Is there a way to reliably remove the wax from waxed lemons? I assume I don't want to throw that into my infusion.

What are everyone's thoughts on using frozen fruits for infusions? I would love to do a strawberry infusion to pair with my basil liqueur, but strawberries are way out of season here in increasingly chilly Ontario. I'm a little concerned that frozen berries will be too watery.

Jack Skeleton posted:I concur. And since you're going to be using higher proof alcohol to infuse, watering it down a little isn't going to ruin it. What if I'm just using regular vodka? Should I be concerned? (It's difficult to get higher-proof alcohol at the Hamilton LCBOs...)

lonelywurm posted:Not just Hamilton. I went through every vodka the LCBO has online and found only one with an ABV above 40% (well, that was under $30 for 750mL). Anyway, if you're interested, it's called Prince Igor Extreme, it's 45%, and apparently it's everywhere: http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/inventory/searchResults.do?language=EN&itemNumber=604926 Hey, thanks! Also, here's a really dumb beginner question: my basil vodka is sort of tea-coloured and seems like it has little...I don't know, fibre fragments? floating in it. Did I gently caress up? It tastes terrific.

Awesome. Gonna mix it with some strawberry for the best drat after-dinner drink ever.

Mixed my strawberry and basil infusions last night - delicious. The strawberry alone was too sweet and fruity for me, but the basil adds a complexity and a kind of herbal flavour that I really loved. Yum.
