Get merry this Christmas and create your own delicious gin!
There’s nothing better than a festive G&T on a wintery evening and it tastes even better when you’ve made it yourself. You can also decorate the bottle you decant your gin into, and it will make a gorgeous gift for the gin lover in your life! A Christmas tipple is best enjoyed surrounded by family and friends so why not show off with your own homemade concoction.
Ingredients:
- 700ml bottle of vodka
- 2tbsp juniper berries
- Any flavourings you fancy – we used orange peel, cloves, and cinnamon sticks!
Instructions:
- Open the bottle of vodka and add the juniper berries and your flavourings. (If you prefer a stronger gin flavour, bruise the juniper berries first in a pestle and mortar)
- Put the lid back on the bottle and store in a cool, dark place for 12-24hrs, but no more as the flavours can become imbalanced.
- Strain the gin into a jug through a fine sieve then pour back into a clean bottle.
This will keep for several months
