Flavoured alcohol/cordial ideas please

[mogs0]

I should probably post this in Food/recipes - infact, I might post it there aswell for maximum response!

Last year I bought about 4000 (slight exaggeration, it's more like 20) flip-top bottles to fill with lots of lovely flavoured gin/vodka/any-other-alcohol-I-could-think-of or cordial for the non-drinkers (is that too boring?). I left it too late and didn't make anything so I wanted to be a bit more organised this year but I can see myself failing again if I don't get a move on.

I tried to find some sloes locally but nobody knows of any growing nearby and I'm probably too late now to find any so I need some alternatives of tried and tested home-made-flavoured-alcohol please.

I'm sure I've heard of someone adding a Mars bar to vodka but could have made it up...

Nigella has several vodka recipes:

Winter spiced vodka
1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
3 cardamom pods, bruised
half teaspoon cumin seed
1 cinnamon stick
1 dried red chilli
500ml vodka

sterilise bottles and leave to cool

pop all spices into cooled, prepared bottle

pour in vodka, seal the bottle and put to steep in cool dark cupboard or anywhere away from light

make up to 1 month before drinking or giving
store in cool dark place and use within 1 year

think there is also one for bramble vodka but will have to post later as am off out now :)

Rasberry vodka

Cranberry Vodka

Chilli Vodka

Spiced Arancello

Limoncello

Hope that helps (sorry they are all vodka)

blackberry vodka is my fave!

Thanks! I had a limoncello recipe last year so will try it out this year!
