Double-Infused Tequila por Mi Amante

[Mike S.]

Well, I think the strawberry-infused rum still needs work. Just does not seem to have as much character as you get in the tequila version. Perhaps a 100-proof rhum agricole blanc as a base would work better. That said, however, my batch does make a mighty tasty Strawberry Daiquiri, and I suspect that's how it's likely to get consumed from now on.

I have a batch of TPMA going now. The first batch of strawberries that I used were pretty so-so, but after infusing for six days I lucked out and got my hands on some amazing deep red, sweet berries. So I strained the first berries out, started the second ones infusing (along with a vanilla bean) and we're about two weeks away from finding out the results! I'm so excited....
