How to Use This Calculator

Enter the spirit volume in mL or liters.
Select the ingredient type (citrus peel, herbs, spices, vanilla, etc.) and desired intensity.
The calculator shows ingredient weight in oz and grams and recommended infusion time in days.
Combine spirit and ingredient in a sealed glass jar, taste daily after the minimum time, and strain when desired flavor is reached.

How the result changes with Spirit Volume

Spirit Volume: Volume of the base spirit in fluid ounces. A standard bottle (750 mL) is about 25 oz.
Ingredient Type: Type of flavoring: 1 = Vanilla (7 days base), 2 = Fruit (3 days base), 3 = Spice (5 days base), 4 = Herb (4 days base).
Intensity: Desired flavor intensity: 1 = Light (0.5x weight and time), 2 = Medium (standard), 3 = Strong (1.5x weight and time).
