Bourbon infused strawberries

The compression technique shown here http://www.chefsteps.com/activities/vacuum-compression-of-plant-foods is perfect for this time of the year.

I've used it a couple times this week with fresh strawberries. But I added into the bag some single barrel Bourbon from Koval in Chicago, which created this perfect infusion.

No better way to celebrate strawberries! ... also works very well with pineapple and bourbon.

I can't wait for this weekend. Going to be playing around with a lot of cocktails. I'm excited to do some rapid aging and smoke infusions.

Melon balls and peated whisky is delicious using that method.

I can't stress how great strawberry infused tequila is as well. It can make sub par tequila into a completely palatable drink, or decent tequila into desert!

I did a few of the chefsteps cocktails this weekend. I did a spin on the oak infused whisky sour with cherry wood which didn't turn out to be a good idea, didn't round out the flavor like I had expected and in fact kind of made it more acidic. The carbonated negroni was a hit and we did a few melon-vodka infusions with the siphon which were nice. I'm excited to see what else comes down the pipeline.
