flavoured vodka and other alcoholic drinks

MoneySavingSapphire_:D

By putting like dried fruit and things in it? Well - can you make funny whisky? I want to start thinking about making some yummy things like flavoured olive oils and spirits for Christmas (I know you lot won't mind me mentioning the C word this early (or not!) in the year, have been nosing @ the christmas thread!!) and my nan is, like me, a whisky drinker rather than vodka, and I'd love to make her something whisky related. Whisky and handmade by her favourite...oops, first grandchild - would be so nice!!
Have a sneaky suspiscion this doesn't exist though....
Thanks in advance!!
PS - any tasty recipes for homemade vodkas, bath salts, oils, etc welcome too!
PPS - sorry if this has been done before. I searched and found vodka, but no whisky!! Any alternative ideas welcome too!

You're welcome. Just looked thru the list, Drambuie is one that's made from Whisky, also Baileys.

Cheers.

Whiskey should just taste like whiskey. Not sweet like bourbon or smokey like scotch drink Irish!!

Fruit flavoured spirits can be made with any spirits - whiskey, vodka, brandy,rum or gin.Basically you put fruit (berries are best-sloes,damsons,plums,raspberries,currants,blackberries etc), and sugar in the spirit and leave for as long as possible in a cool dark place,shaking the jar occasionally.

Good combinations are;raspberry brandy, blackberry whiskey, damson gin and quince vodka.

It is gorgeous!! He gets stem ginger and some sugar, puts it into a large bottle and pours over the whisky. Leaves it for quite a while to do its thing and ta da!! He is the king at making flavoured spirits!! Strawberry vodka, chilli vodka, horseradish vodka, mandarin brandy and ginger whisky all on the go at the mo!!! Horseradish and chilli are fab in a bloody mary! One shot of each. And the strawberry is especially devisilish with a bit of squirty cream on the top of it in a shot glass then down in one, mmmmm!! :drool:
