redial Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 While out in the field today, I was given a drink of ginger brandy. Very nice, does anyone have an easy recipe please. Cheers, 🥃🥃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Bottle of brandy, one jar of stem ginger in syrup, grate the ginger on a fine grater and add to the brandy. Use a larger kilner jar or pop bottle as I do, add as much of the syrup to taste as you like. Shake every day and for a few weeks to infuse, strain and enjoy.

redial Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks for that, sounds easy enough. Â If I get cracking, may have some for new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, does anyone have an easy recipe please. Cheers, 🥃🥃 Ha, strange coincidence! Seemed to remember reading a recipe for this on here. Bought some stem ginger this morning, sliced a couple of pieces into a 250ml bottle, poured in a little of the syrup and then topped off with brandy. Just tried a little sip and it's already very nice, even after just 8 or so hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Took the last shot of the small bottle I made and added some lemonade. Result, alcoholic ginger beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 I made some with a bottle of Lidl Brandy and 300g of root ginger ( grated ) and 1 cup,of sugar left it for 2 weeks lovely to drink BUT I made the mistake of squeezing the muslin bag when I filtered it  This resulted in the finished drink being a little cloudy from the 'ginger juice,'. Tried it through coffee filters but it won't go any clearer  Stem ginger next time , but there was none available locally at the time. On the same day I did Cherry vodka ....1l vodka ( Russian standard on offer at £13.99,)  pkt frozen Aldi Cherries,  cup of sugar. 10 days, filter through muslin.  Unbelievably good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
