How do you make gin at home?

DIRECTIONS:

  2. Add your botanicals to the jar, minus any fresh peel.
  3. Top up with vodka.
  4. Leave to infuse in a cool dark place for 24 hours.
  5. Taste the infusion – it should have taken on some lovely juniper ginnyness already.

What are the main ingredients in gin?

  • Angelica Root.
  • Orris Root.
  • Lemon.

What can I do with cheap gin?

Combine cheap gin with ginger ale and lots of lime juice. Ginger ale, gin, and a shot of lime juice. Ginger makes the magic happen.

How is gin made step by step?

Gin makers follow a few basic steps to produce gin:

  1. Combine the base ingredients. To make a fermentable base, gin makers will mix dried, prepared grains—like flaked maize and wheat malt—with water and yeast.
  2. Ferment the base.
  3. Strain the mixture.
  4. Distill.
  5. Collect and sort the product.
  6. Dilute.
  7. Bottle.

How to make the perfect gin?

Large clean highball glass or balloon glass if you’re feeling fancy (big red wine glass will do!)

  • Plenty of good quality clear large ice cubes straight from the freezer (this will chill the drink quicker resulting in less dilution and keeping it colder for longer)
  • Bottle of your favourite gin – I love Sipsmith – It’s bold,complex and aromatic.
