The Original Porthole Infuser

LOVE it! I saw (and partook in) the Port Hole at a resort in Mexico where they offered different infusions each day. Beautiful design, easy to clean and use. I’ve had it for just over a week and have infused 3 batches of tequila thus far, 2 of which were great. First up was the Garden Party Limonada included in the listing. Just subbed in tequila for vodka. Fantastic mixed with a little sparkling water. Next up, I tried the Maria Felix in the recipe book - not a fan. Third infusion was simply combining flavors I know I like - strawberry, fresh basil, lemon juice and simple syrup. Mixed that infusion with water and a little Firecracker Farms Three Kings salt. Delish! Great with regular salt too. Currently have blackberry, sage and lemon juice working in the fridge.

This little glass device absolutely stepped up my bar game. Not only is it great for infusing with fruits, spices, and more, but it’s a stunning show piece for entertaining. Seasonal infusions make for lovely dinner or cocktail party displays that guests can drink. In addition to being beautiful and functional, the porthole is easy to clean and store. It even looks nice empty, displayed on a bar cart!

Cool infusing container for making fun, unusual cocktails.

I was first introduced to the Porthole at the Aviary, Grant Achatz's (of Alinea) Chicago cocktail bar. The Porthole was commissioned by the bar and built by Crucial Detail, which provides many other of the Alinea Group's serving/presentation items. Some of the reviews on Amazon had me worried that the Porthole was hard to assemble and/or had a problem with leaking. During the first month or so of use, I've experienced none of these problems. The item comes with all the tools and instructions that should allow you to have easy use like me. I will admit that getting the rubber gasket in place can be a little tricky at first. I spent about 3-5 minutes fighting with it the first time that I assembled the unit. After learning by error, I have been able to get it right ever since. It helps if you have a little bit of length on your fingernails to find the groove. As for recipes, there is a book included with the Porthole. The Aviary Cocktail book has also recently been published and this will provide some inspiration as well. If there is one complaint I have, it's the size of the unit. Depending on how stuffed your recipe is, this will really only yield enough for a cocktail or two (unless your adding additional items to the yield). Oh well, fun and beautifully designed.

This is a beautiful infuser. It comes with lots of goodies for you to put in and add your liquor.

This porthole infuser is amazing, and fabulous! Not only do beverages look gorgeous as they infuse, but they infuse in a matter of hours. We’re very happy with this purchase!

I was going nuts trying to put the screws that come in a box IN the holes which didnt fit. Then I realized the black box contains replacement screws, the extra screens and the wheel. You have to unscrew A LOT before it comes open, but once you get the hang of it, its very simple to do. Watch the video for the proper placement of the gaskets and always test with water. 3 tries before I got it right...but now its a GORGEOUS piece to have on a counter and always gets great comments.

These are really quite nice and permeates the flavors into the whiskey they way you hope. My only disappointment was the size which is smaller than I imagined. The product is sturdy and made with quality materials.

I like the quality but not allowed to purchase more than one at a time
