Hmmm…just wondering how would it taste. Anyway, goodluck! And hope to see the result of that, I’ll just keep in touch and thank you in advance for posting the outcome.

Hi Alison,
I think the mint would work. I would probably try using the basil-infused vodka recipe as a guide, but substitute rum and mint leaves. I don’t think you need to bruise the leaves before infusing. I would guess that the rum will probably infuse in 3 days to a week. Try checking it after the 3rd day to see how it tastes; you can always leave it in for longer if you want a stronger flavor. Good luck!

Hello, I am trying to make mojito jello shots (mint, rum and lime jello) for my birthday. Do you think mint would infuse in rum well? Should I bruise the mint before letting it infuse? How long would you suggest infusing the rum for? My birthday is on November 28th. I would love your input and advice! Thanks so much!

I made a green tea vodka a while back. I used the sencha tea from Teavana. I can’t recall the proportions, but I let it go for just a few weeks and it had some colour to it. I added a third the volume in simple syrup so it’s a liqueur now. It’s good neat or with tonic. The lemongrass sounds like a good idea too! Have fun.
