Gift Idea for Him - Infused Bourbon with DIY Tag

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Need a last minute Father’s Day gift idea that uses things you might already have at home? Infused bourbon to the rescue! Today we’re whipping up a quick apple pie bourbon recipe and have a free printable gift tag to go right along with it.

Besides a nice gift set of Paper Hatchet cards (shameless plug for my husband’s company – wink wink), this delicious apple and cinnamon infused bourbon recipe is sure to be a hit for Father’s Day or any occasion! The best part? Besides the fact that it is bourbon? We’ve hacked a printable tag from Southern Living so you can use regular mason jars instead of needing to buy special bottles.

INFUSED BOURBON WITH DIY TAG

INGREDIENTS FOR INFUSED BOURBON

1 chopped apple (we used honeycrisp)
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (750-milliliter) bottle bourbon
1/4 cup simple syrup (which is just water and sugar – you can make your own)
8 oz mason jars (this recipe will fill three with a little left over – you can always use bigger jars!)

Follow this easy recipe and let your concoction sit at room temperature for three to four days, then pour in to the mason jars and seal. Then you are ready to make your tag! {FTC Disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links which means I may make a commission on any sales at no additional cost to you.}

The Southern Living tags required smooth jars to adhere to – we’ve made a tag you can tie on to any size/shape jar with just a few quick changes.

3. Cut patterned paper in to 1 3/8″ x 4 1/4″ strips, then center tags on to patterned paper and make a pennant cut on one end to match the shape of the tag.

4. Punch a hole on the flat edge of the tag, string through twine and wrap around the lid of the mason jar, then tie to secure.
