Lemongrass for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Lemongrass brings a crisp lemon aroma with gentle grassy notes, making liqueurs feel lighter and more vivid. It pairs beautifully with ginger, vanilla, coconut, and tropical fruits, adding freshness without heavy acidity. Use short infusions for a clean, spa-like profile; longer steeps can turn more vegetal. Excellent for clear vodka or rum bases and for balancing sweetness in dessert-style blends.
