Impatient lot aren't you?

For those desirous of instant gratification I recommend honey vodka. Simply add a decent amount of honey, maybe a 5th or 6th part of whatever container you're using. Top up with vodka and then shake until the honey is dissolved. Then drink. Smooth, warm and sweet .

That is much nicer if you use whisky as the spirit!:yes:

I have just added a jar of Aldi Marmalade to 3/4 of a litre of old vodka, now the wait begins.:yes:

Yes Bourbon would work, if I can stop people drinking it before I can add the honey!:rolleyes:

The vodka in our house apparently evaporates through a tightened lid.:hmm:Hence the vodka and gin is in the Gunroom.

My Grandmother used to make really nice rhubarb & ginger jam, I took the hint & have some Rhubarb & ginger Vodka on the go, might add some Marmalade to one batch & try it

St Dalfour do a very nice orange and ginger marmalade - I wonder if that would work

Does this marmalade vodka taste like Cointreau?

No, like marmalade

Difficult to pin it down but certainly with this marmalade, you could taste the oranges.  Not as nice a drink on it's own, like sloe gin or fig vodka but with a dash of prosecco or tonic water it was a very nice drink. 

Ok, so yesterday I experimented with a large measure of vodka and a teaspoon of the St Dalfour orange and ginger marmalade.

Stirred it well and left it to stand for a few hours.

I drank the tincture last night.

A good hit of orange, the ginger came through too, but rather sweet for me, very like Cointreau

Just been to shake the bottle and wonder if there is a finite amount of marmalade that a given measure of vodka can support?

May have to decant and refresh with new vodka!

Probably. My original batch still had undissolved marmalade even after several months and a lot of shaking.

Give it a whirl lads, I don't think you'll be disappointed (as long as you like marmalade).

I used Lidl thick cut marmalade. Some heavy shaking for the first week or two, the marmalade doesn't completely break down, at least not in the quantity I used. No extra sugar needed imho. Then just leave for a while.

Might have to give the marmalade gin a try next. Let me know how yours comes out hambone.

Just had another go at it and have to say the extra week has made a big difference, orange is coming through over the tonic. Very nice :good:

I strained (more like wrung) the undissolved marmalade and bay leaves in a 'Leo pea' bag over a funnel into the bottle

I see, well we may have to conduct further trials then!

Still haven't sorted mine...the undissolved bit has me thinking,

I think I'll put the lot through a blender first see if it makes a difference.

Just got in from a long day out in Sussex. Eaten a roast dinner turned the computer on and have to say, I have not tried it yet!

 

Just tried it and it is wonderful, what a great way to make cheap vodka very drinkable.:yes:
