Blueberry Gin

[lannyman8]

got some blueberries the other week and never got round to eating them, so i bunged them in the freezer for a later date.....

just been to the big T and got some Gin (a small half bottle) drank some....lol.... then filled the remainder with some berries.

the bottle is about 1/3 full of berries leaving some room in the top and neck at this point.....

i then filled the remainder with sugar about 4 tbl spoons put the lid on and shook it up......

job done, shake every day for 1-2 weeks and then once a week for 3 months.....then drink......

will let you know how it tastes in about 3 months.........

going to try strawberry, blueberry and sloe wine doing the same thing with a blank wine = 1kg sugar 2 tea spoons yeast 1 lemon juice 1 gallon (4.5 l ) of water and brew as normal bottle off then add the fruit and sugar... it works realy well with sloe but not sure about the rest but we will see.....

Got 3 bottles of Blue berry Gin on the go & 2 bottles of Sloe Gin.

The Blue berry gin looks like Meths but tastes hell of a lot better.

sorry just seen this again, drank the gin on sat with Joel and John......mmmmmmmmm awesome........

to your question dave you can flavour any booz, but its a bit of a waist of money to get good stuff as the flavour changes for the better anyway.....but yes by all means, rum,brandy,vodka,wiskey and wine to name but a few can be flavoured with fruit and you can also add your own spice.....for eg you could have sloe rum spiced with cinnemon and cloves......

give it a go and see how you like it........

I can vouch for that Gin.... out of this world!
By the way Chris, thanks for the leftover cider, the wife loved it!

 

[lannyman8]

your turn next time.......lol...... oh you had that vanishing port.............lol.....

 

[joely]

I think the port must have evaporated

 

[lannyman8]

into our mugs........ratflmfao....................

I've added to mine it's now in a 2 litre bottle as it was so nice it appeared to be evaporating by the sherry glass full the bigger bottles with a better lid has put a stop to it

The colour is now a nice deep purple so it doesn't look like meths any more.

Sloe gin is well on it's way but I think I now prefer the Blueberry.
