I haven't made home brew for years, about time I got back into it.

The only flavoured alcohol I've been supping lately (not tonight) has been vodka flavoured with cola...

Will dig out my old book, Winemaking month by month, tomorrow.

I made raspberry vodka last year and it went down a treat, as long as you add enough sugar. I didn't strain it and my friends liked the raspberry pieces, or so they said

Sloe Gin, Blackberry Vodka, Mixed Fruit/mixed booze "Molotov", Birch Sap wine....so far ...

You'll find there's a lot of us on here who both flavour their own booze as well as a bit of home brewing (cider and elderflower beer/champagne is what I usually do. Tried nettle beer but didn't really like it, but I'll give it another go in a couple of months once Spring is here).

I LOVE bramble brandy! Never thought of adding apples as well. Seems so obvious now you've mentioned it. Mmm...wonder what apple and blackberry gin/vodka would be like.
My personal favourites have always been sloe gin and rhubarb vodka. So simple, yet so lovely.

i quite fancy making my own cider - I'm a typical Dorset boy I'm afraid - i do like my cider.

I can't remember exactly but there was a reason I put apples in as well. i had a small nip and it is nice!

i once tried blueberry whiskey and that was rather nice too.

Sloe gin, raspberry gin and blackcurrant brandy this year.
Vodka with fennel added - tastes like aquavit (sp?) but half the price

Used to do lots of home brew wine and beer but don't have space in this house.

Sloe Gin, Sloe Vodka, Sloe Wiskey, and Mead (Sweet and Dry) and possibly a methglin (flavoured mead with Lemon and herbs) on the go.
My friend has a couple of bee hives and he dont like honey so i get alot of it!

Friend of mine made garlic in vodka and left to stand for two weeks, then on his party night he offered it around and the bottle soon got empy, at least i had fresh breath the next day.

I tried this method using Ginger root and a little sugar, tasted great

I've tried a few flavoured spirits and my favourite is rhubarb schnapps (vodka, plenty of red 'barb and sugar to taste). Also make quite a few different beers, wine and cider.
