Have you met Alicia at Boozed + Infused?
No?!
Why are you still here? Stop reading this boring post and go learn how to make pineapple liqueur and coffee-bourbon milkshakes.
After experimenting with the totally homespun drink-infusing genius on Alicia’s blog, you will be able to call yourself a mixologist. In Portland that earns you a lot of cache (and possibly a guest spot on Portlandia).
Alicia and her sister Eileen recently started Boozed + Infused, and already they’re building a vibrant pocket community of infusing enthusiasts. You know a blog is well on its way when posts have comments, and Boozed + Infused even gets nerdy comments from other infusers: Awesome!
I’m just a lowly groupie, but I still snagged a sweet invitation to Alicia’s for cocktails. It was possibly the best day of 2012.
Even if you’re not in PDX, you’ll love Boozed + Infused, and you’ll be rewarded with epic coolness points at all the summer barbecues you go to when you show up with homemade coconut liqueur or tamarind-orange gin.
You’re still here.
Well, stalker, here are a few more ways to get your Boozed + Infused on…
You’ll definitely want to follow Boozed + Infused on Pinterest.
And why not add @BoozedInfused to your Twitter party?
No? You’re more of a Facebook junkie? Go like Boozed + Infused!
Seriously, why haven’t you left?
Will a recipe for a Blueberry Pieball cocktail make you go away?
Blueberry Pieball (It’s a play on the classic highball cocktails)
- 1.5 oz Blueberry Gin
- 0.5 oz Dry Vermouth
- 0.5 oz Brandy
- 3 oz club soda
- 2 oz ginger ale
- lemon twist
- Blueberry Ice Cubes (made from blueberry juice) and frozen blueberries to keep the drink cold
Pour each of the ingredients into a tall glass, add a few blueberry ice cubes, frozen blueberries, and one regular ice cube, then garnish with a lemon twist.
Recipe courtesy of Boozed + Infused (visit to find more tips for this drink). Thank you, Alicia!

Hi Evelyn, thanks for the great write-up! You are welcome at my house for cocktails any time!
Be careful what you wish for! BTW my husband is all about the infusing now. He thinks it should be our “thing.” So I will hopefully be working on my home-infusing nerd status over here.
ha ha! Awesome! It should be EVERYONE’S thing! Weel, in this nerd’s humble opinion.
I… would drink that. yum. (although that’s honestly not saying much. I’d drink almost anything.)
Ha! Well then Boozed + Infused is definitely the blog for you. She infuses anything and everything, so for girls like us it’s a dream! 🙂
What I am hearing is that the next booze tasting party will be at Momsicle’s villa! Consider me RSVP’d.
You are right on, sister. I’ll get my act together in 2-5 years. Liquor improves with age, right?
I heard the same thing, Poppy! And I have every faith that Evelyn can pull this together in a lot less than the “years” that she mentioned. Oh, and let this also serve as my RSVP!
I could go a coffee-bourbon milkshake right now.
