Tayberries

[Jamie_]

Hi all. I have a Tayberrie bush in the garden and plan on making use of them this year in something other than Jam. I was thinking of adding them to either Gin or Vodka but have no idea where to begin or if it would even be drinkable.

 

Has anyone done this before? Or does anyone have any idea on which would work better (Gin or Vodka) What would I need to do?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
