Botanical Mixology - Learn to make Infused Gin and Cocktail Bitters

Описание: The newest subscription DIY kit from Grow and Make is the Botanical Mixology and Mocktail kit. This video teaches you how to make an infused gin recipe and a cocktail bitters recipe.

You make gin by infusing vodka with juniper and botanicals. Create a drink that tastes like the rustic forest but made at home. The vodka is a neutral spirit that infuses with juniper and botanicals to create a homemade gin flavored liquor. If you don’t want to make an alcohol infusion, you can also use these flavors to make a mocktail by steeping the ingredients in a simple syrup or plain water instead. Add dried botanicals and spices into the glass bottle. Juniper is the most important ingredient to add to give it a true gin flavor. Pour the vodka in the bottle and secure the cork. The more time it sits the more intense the flavors will be, and the darker the liquid will become. We suggest around 7 days.

Cocktail bitters are a mixologist’s secret weapon. A few dashes or drops of bitters into a cocktail enhances and elevates the flavor profile. The gentian root is the essential ingredient for the bitter flavor, all the other botanicals add to the aromatic bouquet of flavor, but you can experiment with whatever ingredients you want, or separate the spices and steep one at a time and combine them for the finished product. For the best flavor expression, you will need 100 proof liquor, or at least 50 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), however you can also substitute vodka. This recipe is for a classic orange bitters.
