Hi Alicia,
I have let my strawberry rum sit and infuse all this time, and today I finally strained out the berries and the rum is pretty tasty. The strawberries actually are too. I think I’m going to freeze them and make strawberry milkshakes with them down the road. These were the ones where I used 1/3 of the berries that were macerated with sugar first. So I think it came out pretty well for my first infusion. I think I’m going with your chocolate raspberry next! 🙂 Meg

Gorgeous! I can’t help thinking that you are doing a better job with the summer cocktails than I am. Although I did make these recently: http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2012/07/29/capitol-hill-cooks-bloody-mary-popsicles-inspired-by-14th-and-union 🙂

I was lucky enough to score a quart of gorgeous organic local strawberries today, so needless to say I bought rum 😉 My question, as a total newbie to this – do you keep the infusion refrigerated while it does its thing, or does it sit on the counter?

No need to refrigerate! If you make this recipe as directed, the alcohol level is high enough that refrigerating is not necessary. Good luck! I hope you like it…
