Hi,

Regarding the Vodka mix.

If I add 125ml Home bargains syrup to 650mls Vodka,do I  mix and leave for a couple of weeks or is it good after 24hrs like the commercial Flavourings?

Cheers

 

N.

I don't know about that but I found 125 ml in 500 ml of vodka I found was right for my palete well just have fun experimenting

It's drinkable as you make it

but I found its better after 24 hours the flovours really come together and if you don't down the lot a couple of weeks is better still its fantastic

ive got a 1/4 of bottle left I done before Christmas i,m in the process of polishing it off now tonight very nice on the rocks

Yeah have a butcher's

I think they stock 5 or 6 different syrups off the top of my head but not all of them are in stock all at once I think it's a £ 1.00 a bottle 

theres toffee caramel , hazel nut , bubblegum , candy floss , parma violets ( the toffee caramel and the hazelnut are my personal favourites )

But i cant remember the other flavour but be careful you can over do it you can make it sickly sweet

but when you get it right its very good well put it this way its been a big hit with everyone who has tried it so far turns a run of the mill vodka or neutral into something special 

Sweet violets bubblegum cinnamon toffee caramel  hazlenut and candy floss that's the flavours I've tried  all of them are good but the toffee caramel is my favourite so far

i cut mine down to 30 % abv i use an alcometer you cant use a standard wine or beer  hydrometer to cut your proof acholol ok

Landlady of my local suggested putting a full pack of Werther's into a bottle of vodka, apparently it's superb

It does go well, pretty much butterscotch vodka.
