Easy DIY Infused Mocktails and Cocktails Recipes for Cocktail Parties

Creating homemade infused mocktails and cocktails is exciting and can never be boring when there are several recipes you can try out, ranging from alcoholic to non-alcoholic. We have gathered three different DIY recipes you can experiment with below.

Herbal Infused Gin and Tonic

The mixture of gin and herbs is a match made in heaven, as herbs are a wonderful garnish for gin. With tonic in the mix, you can expect to be wowed by the outcome. You can use a botanical infuser machine to create herb-infused water for this beverage or you can simply get a pre-made herbal elixir to create a mouth-watering herb-infused gin cocktail. For this, you’ll need a herb-infused syrup that contains a minimum of 10 milligrams of dry herbs. To get your desired effect, you can use up to 25 milligrams.

For the herb-infused syrup, add a cup of sugar, one cup of water, and 10 five inches of thyme or rosemary sprigs to your botanical infuser. Select 160°F and 1 hour on the settings to infuse the syrup you need for the recipe. Strain the liquid into a glass container once the cycle is complete.
