A little vodka experiment

[philpom]

Had a big bottle of Tower Vodka sitting around, decided we'd buy a big bag of jolly ranchers.

10 ranchers per pint of vodka and 7 days time. We'll see, I'm betting it's tasty.

The colors already make me wanna slug it lol.

We figured there was virtually no chance it's bad. I'm curious which one strikes me best. There's a chance cherry tastes like cough syrup. I'm thinking I'll like apple, blur berry, and water melon best. Tick tok...

My favorite was the apple. Blue berry wasn't bad either. With the apple. A friend of mine adds a pinch of citric acid powder. Gives it a little sour punch.

I tried some strawberry iced tea at a restaurant and really liked it. So I tried the samething with strawberry ranchers. Tasted real good but had to moderate cuz the tea had a kick. Watermelon worked well too. Don't think I could or would drink it straight up.

Waiting on your results.
Yeah tried that back in my youth, too.

Hey Keith @JckDanls 07
You think that will match up to the flavored shine?

 

[chopsaw]

I bet that grape is gonna be dangerous . I'm thinking a couple atomic fireballs in with the apple .

Remember that quip from Jimmie Buffet?
"I can't really taste the alcohol." "That's the plan baby."

 

[JLinza]

Im not much on sweet drinks, but ill bet that's gonna be pretty darn good. Can't wait to hear the results

UMMMM No...

 

[Smoke-Chem BBQ]

We’ve made excellent limoncello in the past. 100 proof vodka (80 proof will start to form ice crystals in the freezer), and a bunch of de-waxed no-pith lemon peel slices. Soak at room temp for weeks, then filter. There are a bunch of recipes online.

 

[Fueling Around]

I can get 190 EverClear. Thinking that might be a better start.

We use it for making vanilla extract and the like but no way it's going down the hatch, we're a little old for that!

Kinda like cheap tequila, ain't happening. We have made some apple pie "moonshine" with it, that was pretty good after it sat a few years.

 

[Gonna Smoke]

I'm in, too. Had a friend that could get real moonshine and he would add Atomic FireBall candy to it. That stuff would hurt you if you weren't careful...
