Making your own gin
Discussion
I thought you'd enjoy this topic...
Gin is my favourite spirit but I don't drink vodka. I have a half-bottle of vodka going spare.
The theory is this. Vodka is basically just alcohol and water, whilst gin has juniper berries and other 'botanicals' in it. So the plan is to stick lots of botanical stuff into my bottle of vodka and make it into gin (not unlike making sloe gin or rumtopf)
So, what do I need apart from juniper berries? In fact I don't have a juniper but can probably lay my hands on some Leylandii berries. This is going to be interesting.
