Infuse Coconut-Washed Bourbon
In a jar, combine 2 oz of bourbon with 1 oz of coconut cream. Seal the jar and shake well. Let it sit for 12 hours at room temperature. After infusing, freeze the jar for 1 hour; then, remove the solid coconut cream layer that forms on top, leaving the infused bourbon.
