Is it to early to start the "Is it too late to make Flavoured Vodkas for gifts?" thread?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

An annual discussion!

Think I'm going for Wurthers and Strawberry Laces - particularly like the Bio Lab effect of the intestinal Laces on glass jar. And one decanted, is a rather attractive pink hue.

Although previous attempts at lemon sherbet was a rather unappetising colour. healthy Urine vodka anyone? 😬

Anyone any other flavours?

I made cough candy vodka one year. It was bloody delicious and brilliant in the dark of Feb when we were full of cold.

Not vodka, but I made violet gin. Two hours from starting to drinking 😉

Cough candy vodka is a brilliant idea!

Violet gin?! Don't just leave that there and wander off!

Hello Chaos

Kola Cube Vodka is good, I might make that later. I've got Rhubarb stewing and I'll make Rhubarb and Custard in Dec.

I made Grays Herbal (Granny Herbals?) one year. Bloody weird but quite good frozen as a liqueur.

Oh wow, this is all new to me. Do you just put the sweets in the vodca and let them brew????

Parma Violet vodka is all kinds of awesome. As is Jelly Baby vodka! Skittles vodka not so much, but we all enjoyed the experiment

Sorry 😆 I used the small gin and lemonade bottles. Crushed up Parma Violets and filled about a fifth of the bottle. Filled the bottle with basic gin. Put cling film around the lid to stop leakage. Yo can get three of these bottles from a 70Cl standard gin bottle. Put the bottles in a dishwasher and run on the highest temperature cycle. Filter a couple of times through a muslin cloth until clear. Enjoy 😊

I saw a recipe for Nutella 'baileys' that I'm going to try

Now I feel old!

A million years ago, I used to make flavoured vodkas. The best ones were
vanilla
liquorish
chilli
lemon.

Tonight, DH and I made our flavoured gins (which will be christmas presents.

We made
Raspberry
lemon and ginger
toffee
orange
lemongrass and lime

Keep your finger's crossed they are nice!

I've got a litre of sloe gin steeping, and 2 small bottles of Clementine gin on the go. My niece send me some essence of violet syrup from France - violet gin next.

Ohhhhhhh!!!! A whole new world of amazing gift making opens up to me.

I’m off to get my notebook...

I have raspberry gin, blackberry brandy, coffee rum, weathers vodka and my favourite marmalade gin .
Good Housekeeping have the recipe online for marmalade gin ,it is amazing and even better topped up with Prosecco !
I decant these into miniature bottles ( given to me from local venue) and give them out as mini prizes during a local street dancing event on boxing Day .
The children get sweets !

Don't forget the 'dishwasher vodka'

Mar Bar is my favourite, but any nice chocolatey things will do - After Eights etc!

So do the Parma violets/alcohol go in the dishwasher with just some cling film on the bottle to protect them? @MumoftheBoyandtheGirl

Oops - sorry, didn't see that MumoftheBoyandtheGirl had already mentioned dishwasher vodka

grey, you have to replace the lid of the bottle first then wrap cling film around it - well, I think that's what Mum meant.

Eons ago I used to make refreshers, fruit salad and black jack vodka. Separately!
This year made rhubarb from fruit and its so lovely it may not last til Xmas. Pretty pink colour too

Candy cane vodka is very Christmassy!

Cheers all!

Just been and bought much vodka and Rhubarb and custard and Murray mints, now off home to pop them in the dishwasher yay!

Oiright @exLtEveDallas? Thought you'd be along!

I made Werthers' vodka last year and was disappointed with the fizzy scum that kept bubbling up to the top of the bottles. What did I do wrong?
