While making my yearly Rock ‘n Rye infusion, I got the idea that a similar process would work to make J&B more enjoyable in my house (we find it very difficult). I cut out the horehound, but kept most everything else the same as I would for Rock ‘n Rye. The effect is much more cinnamon forward, and definitely improves the J&B flavor. I gave rough measurements, but you can put in as many or as few infusing agents as you like.

Ingredients:

• J&B (one 750 ml bottle)
• 1 string Rock candy or about a 1/4 cup loose rock candy
• 1/2 to 1 full orange peel (dried)
• 2-3 dried apricots, sliced
• 3-4 dried cherries
• 3-4 dried mandarin slices
• 1 whole clove
• 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions:

1. In an empty wide mouth glass container (could be anything, jar, pitcher, etc with a lid) add J&B, dried fruit, dried peel, and cinnamon stick
2. Allow mixture to infuse in a cool dry place for 3 or 4 days
3. Add rock candy and clove
4. Allow mixture to infuse one or two more days based on taste
5. Strain mixture and pour into a clean bottle
6. Enjoy!
