Ingredients
- 1-3 tbsp refined coconut oil
- 1 bottle (750 ml) tequila blanco
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil: Gently melt until liquid. Do not overheat.
- Combine in jar: Pour tequila into the Weck jar and add melted coconut oil.
- Shake hard: Seal and shake for 20–30 seconds so the oil disperses.
- Infuse: Let sit at room temp for 2–4 hours, shaking occasionally.
- Freeze overnight: Place jar in freezer until oil fully solidifies on top (usually overnight).
- Remove fat cap: Poke through or lift off the solid coconut oil layer.
- Fine strain: Strain tequila through coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove remaining fat particles.
- Bottle and store: Return to bottle or keep in jar. Store at room temp or freezer.
