The Art Of Drink Infusion

Drink infusion is the process of adding flavour and aroma to a base liquid, such as a spirit or mixer, by steeping it with other ingredients. This is a great way to create complex and flavourful cocktails and beverages, and it allows you to experiment with a wide variety of flavours.

One way to rapidly infuse drinks is to use whipped cream chargers, which contain nitrous oxide (N2O). When the charger is activated, the N2O gas dissolves in the liquid, creating a pressure vacuum. This vacuum forces the flavours from the other ingredients into the liquid, resulting in a quick and easy infusion.

The Infusing Process

To start the infusion process, you will first need to gather your equipment and ingredients:

Whipped Cream Charger: 

You'll need a whipped cream dispenser equipped with cream chargers. Make sure it's clean and ready for use.

Base Liquid: 

Choose your base liquid, which could be vodka, gin, or rum, or a non-alcoholic option like fruit juice, tea or water.

Infusion Ingredients: 

Select the ingredients you want to infuse, such as fruits, herbs, spices, or even coffee beans. Be creative and experiment with different combinations.

Short on time? why not opt for our infusion chargers, available in a variety of tasty flavours.

Strainer: 

You'll need a strainer to filter out the infused ingredients after the process.

A Step-By-Step Guide To Drink Infusion

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Begin by selecting your base liquid and infusion ingredients. Cut fruits into small pieces, crush herbs, or lightly toast spices to release their flavours.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

Place your chosen infusion ingredients into the whipped cream dispenser. You can mix and match ingredients to create unique flavour profiles.

Step 3: Add the Base Liquid

Pour your chosen base liquid over the infusion ingredients in the whipped cream dispenser. Leave some space at the top for expansion.

Step 4: Charge the Dispenser

Attach a whipped cream charger to the dispenser and follow the manufacturer's instructions for charging. The nitrous oxide gas will rapidly infuse the liquid with the flavours of the added ingredients.

Step 5: Shake and Wait

After charging, shake the dispenser vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. This helps distribute the gas and infusion ingredients evenly.

Step 6: Release and Strain

Release the gas from the dispenser slowly. Once the pressure has been released, carefully open the dispenser and strain the infused liquid to remove any solid particles.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Your infused drink is now ready to be served! Pour it into a glass, garnish as desired, and savour the unique flavours you've created.

Here are some additional tips:

• Use a high-quality base liquid. The quality of the base liquid will have a big impact on the taste of the infused drink.
• Don't overfill the dispenser. Overfilling the dispenser can cause the liquid to overflow when the gas is released.
• Be careful when shaking the dispenser. Shaking too vigorously can cause the charger to come loose.
• Strain the liquid immediately after releasing the gas. This will help prevent the liquid from foaming up.
• Experiment with different ingredients. There are endless possibilities when it comes to infused drinks. So get creative and have fun!
