Choosing the Fat: Select a fat (like bacon fat, butter, or coconut oil) and render it liquid.
Infusing the Spirit: Mix the liquid fat with the spirit and let it infuse for a certain period.
Separation and Filtration: Chill the mixture to solidify the fat, then strain to separate the fat from the infused spirit.
