Blueberry-Orange Liqueur

The light, crisp taste of orange is the prefect contrast to the deeper sweetness of blueberries. Because of the citrus, you can use this in any specialty margarita but the blueberry flavor adds a nice twist to your pitcher of mojitos too. Find the recipe at BoozedandInfused.com.

Citrus Rosemary Vodka

We found this recipe at MyBakingAddiction.com. There are several other recipes for infused vodka on the website but we found this one to be the most dynamic in flavors. Because of the rosemary, it can easily be a vodka you keep around for the holidays, but during the summer, it tastes delicious mixed with tonic or soda water for an herbaceous, alcoholic soda.

Apple and Pear Gin

The sour flavor of granny smith apples and the sweet, crisp flavor of pears balance out the bitter flavor of gin so well. This liquor recipe from Cocktails.about.com makes for a great alternative to an appletini that’s just a little bit drier.
