rokz Gin and Tonic Spirit Infusion Bottle for Cocktails, 16 Ounce

This is a fun little way to make infused drinks in a much neater, easy to use than using any other container. I infused it twice, first with Twelve 33 Jojo Gin and it was a real hit at my get together! I let it sit for 4 days and it was wonderfully infused. They are a fun conversation piece and display very well. The bottle construction is also superior and allows for a second hand use after the fact. A perfect and very easy way to add some uniqueness to your cocktails. Just add some over-proofed alcohol as the stronger it is the more flavor it draws out.

To use this mix you fill the bottle up with gin, refrigerate it for 3-4 days, and shake it once a day. The color will start to change - but don’t be alarmed! Remember the ingredients in this mix - it’s a blend of rose petals and buds, fennel, black peppercorns, lemon peel and orange peel. The gin will develop a nice orange color, similar to marmalade, from the orange pill. I’m not a huge tonic fan so I used club soda, and it gets the job done - I actually think it’s better than tonic because it allows you to really taste the flavors of the mix. The fennel is the first ingredient I could smell and taste, luckily I like fennel! The rose petals give it a light scent as well and the other ingredients are mild but distinguishable. Overall, the flavor was really good and the drink was refreshing. I’d definitely recommend this mix, it’s great for parties or if you just want to try something new.

I'll start by saying that this is a hard sell for personal use. It's not in the price range where it has a lot of value there. As a gift or party favor it's an excellent value. It has a lot of wow factor and people who enjoy a good cocktail will like it. This does add a lot of flavor and it's good, unless you don't like licorice. That is the dominate flavor. There is one gotcha to the flavor. First, you will never want to drink this straight. The flavor is too strong. You'll only want to drink this when mixed. The next thing is a little more involved. They tell you to wait days before drinking it. That imparts too much flavor. What I found works, is if you wait a couple days, use it for one drink, and then fill the bottle back up. That helps dilute the flavor to the point where it's a nice balance. Pouring this isn't a great experience. It pours very slow. The ingredients tend to get stuck in the nozzle. Overall this is a good product, but it works best as a gift.

I liked how easy this was to do: add a gin of your choice to the bottle (it will take 16 ounces -- that's 2 cups of gin) and swirl the bottle, then let it sit a day or two. You're supposed to swirl it daily to help the ingredients blend, and I left it to about the third or fourth day before drinking any. I made a gin and tonic with a basic tonic in order to get the best sense of the flavor. The rose obviously adds a floral note, but the fennel and peppercorn helps round out the flavor without being too sweet or too sharp, although the overall flavor is sweet. Mixed with a neutral gin and tonic, it's still refreshing. The cost runs to about $2 per drink, so add that to the cost of your gin, tonic, and bitters.

I like the shape of this and the directions for making your favorite Gin cocktail are very easy to follow. What you do is take two cups of gin place them in the bottle, freeze and let sit for a few days. During this time the product infuses with the provided herbs and spices to give a fantastic Gin cocktail like one that you never had before. I really highly recommended for a change of pace. What I also like is it gets so cold that when you pour into a martini glass it stays cold and is very enjoyable.

Have you ever had the desire to be a bartender, yet couldn't mix an exotic drink to save your buns? Worry no more. These infusion kits are the answer. Not only do they take the guesswork out of the recipe, but they bring all of the ingredients to you. Simply add the specified liquor and you're off to the races. Ease aside, these things are GOOD. The ingredients were fresher than expected and make for a great tasting cocktail. I was also pleasantly surprised at just how many drinks one bottle yielded. We got 10 drinks from one mix and didn't feel like we were "short pouring". I can't wait to try the other flavors. This is a winner of a concept!

I was ultra impressed with this kit. I do a lot of my own cocktailing and infusions so was ready to embrace a decent store-bought offering. This was a grand slam! I followed infusion instructions to a T (was just over 3 days) and loved the end product. If you like the flavor profiles in this, you'll be as much a fan as I. I'm impressed enough to peruse their other offerings for replacement packs. As much as I love the bottle for a pint volume worth of spirit, the pour spout is not as robust as I'd like. Use your preferred if you have one, or secure the flap on the one provided.

This is an ok thing - you put your gin in it and wait around for a while (overnight) and then you have flavored gin. It's kind of fun, but I after doing it this once I probably wouldn't bother doing it again.
