If the liquor is purple, and you prefer the alcohol to be blue, using the flat toothpick or a small spoon, transfer a pinch of baking soda into each of the bottles. Swirl to mix and check the color.
¼ tsp baking soda + flat toothpick
Repeat with very small amounts of baking soda, until it turns blue (stop adding as soon as you notice the desired blue color).
Store all infused liquors in a cool place (or fridge or freezer), until needed.
