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?

- 3 oz club soda
- 2 oz ginger ale
