Yup! I will certainly try that!

What great timing, been clearing out an old booze cabinet and took a liking to the elderflower liquer Spritz with white wine and soda.

Sounds lovely, I’m a big fan of Elderflower cordial and fizzy water at the moment.

It’s also served as a handy reminder of an album I haven’t listened to in ages, and I often wondered where the name St Germain came from. The two would probably compliment each other on a sunny afternoon.

Cheers, I love all that type of thing, mystery and conspiracy, secret societies and rituals.

What an inspired recommendation for a way to spend a nice afternoon; I'm going to do exactly that in the next week or so !

Mine is now in the kilner jar, doing its stuff.
Looking forward to tasting this!

Just straight vodka or has anyone done the Btita filter thing to take the edge of vodka?

 

[Woody girl]

I've used plain old cheap vodka....co op. I always do and things turn out fine. No britta filtering at all, just strain it through a coffee filter at the end.
Last years apple pie vodka ( sweet eating apples and cinnamon stick) is lovely.

Is there an Edge to Vodka??

 

[Danceswithhelicopters]

I've been told that filtering the Vodka through a Brita makes a better bathtub gin.

St Germain done today

Have tried this now.

Needed to be mixed with a little sugar syrup but very pleasant over some ice. Will make more once the opportunity arises again.

I made it, and it's still sitting in a kilner jar on the kitchen worktop. I kind of forgot it was there. Is there a time limit on the soaking in vodka before I strain it ?

I think there will be a natural point of sort of diminishing returns flavour wise. ( I maybe wrong ) 4-6 weeks is what is i used although the recipe I posted at the top of the day suggest 2/3 weeks.

 

[Toddy]

I think I'm okay then.
I'll strain it through coffee filters tomorrow and we'll see how it has turned out

I dried a whole bag load of elderflowers too, I quite like them in my tea as well as made into a syrup, but this in vodka seems awfully fuss free

 

[John Fenna]

A week or two to go on mine ...

 

[Woody girl]

I've just filtered and bottled mine yesterday. Looks and smells and tastes lovely.
I think this will be a new favourite.
