just got home from the
#Hobart Farm Gate #Markets
(my #possums & #kangaroos are gourmet, insist on #organic local food)

One thing that i learnt is that #Tasmania has many boutique #whiskey and #gin #distilleries

They are all there wth $200 bottles..
"Would you like a taste sir?""

Dont mind if i do.

Are you getting the hints of oak on this, getting peat on that one?"

"Mate all im getting is smashed!
See you next sunday!

By the time I left I was half cut.

An incredibly delicious (not) gin and tonic tonight. Made with my homegrown (not) gin that I distilled with all homegrown ingredients of cypress, coriander seed, lemon balm, elderflower and oak moss.

A big shout out to @drinkswriter his book about gin opened my eyes to the vast varied amounts of different ingredients that can go into gin and inspired me to try to make a completely homegrown gin. It turned out so much better than I expected. I'm stupidly proud of myself.

We don't really have a tradition for #sloe #gin in Denmark, but the past two years I've been experimenting a bit with making it myself. It's super easy and a delicious treat just in time for Christmas.

In October you pick the sloe berries, then you freeze them for a couple of days. Add them to a jar with some gin - don't use shit gin, but you don't have to spend a lot either.

When Christmas is around the corner, you filter the by-now dark red gin from the berries using a cloth. Then you mix with a simple syrup to taste and bottle.

In my case I had 1.2 L of sloe gin after filtering, and I boiled 2½ dl sugar with 2½ dl water.

The end result is a strong, aromatic, ruby red gin with some sweetness to it. Enjoy it as is - as a kind of strong liqueur - or mix in drinks in place of regular gin. Your drinks will be pretty-pink and fragrant :)

Going to attempt making a "gin" today using all ingredients grown in my property. This means no juniper berries, as a substitute I'm using cypress branches/needles. My orris root is still two years out but I read about oakmoss as a fixative which is growing all over my maple tree, also got lemon balm, elderflower, and coriander seeds in the mix. Hopefully it turns out well, I have no idea what I'm doing, LOL

NEGRONI BIANCO BERGAMOTTO — 1 part Italicus 1 part dry vermouth 1 part gin — Garnish: green olives Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain over a big rock and garnish with green olives on a cocktail spear. — 🔗 https://potentpotables.app/drinks/negroni-bianco-bergamotto/ — I saw this one from @t1m_kirkland@instagram.com and had been meaning to make it for a while! Had to cut a new batch of clear ice first, though. As Negronis go it's a smooth affair with very little bitter flavor. Crushable, as they say. Also I gotta shout-out to my local farmer's market for the amazing olives: one is pimento, the other blanched almond with garlic mince. — #alcohol #cocktail #cocktails #negroni #negroniTwist #negroniRiff #gin #bianco #vermouth #italicus #bergamotte #amaro #olive #clearice #homeBar #mixology #fedithirst

Since I'm waiting for a year or two for that orris root I prepared last month to be ready, but I want to make (pseudo) #gin before then using all homegrown botanicals I was researching alternative fixatives for gin and I stumbled across Oakmoss.

There are a few gins that use it, and I have a bunch of it growing on my apple and maple trees so I think I'll give it a shot. Figuring out how much to use is another story, but I need to figure that out for everything.

I have a concept of a plan.

Processing iris rhizomes to produce orris root. From what I understand, you want to clean and peel the rhizomes (once you've removed all the roots) and then shred or chop them into small bits which then need to be fully dried. Once they're completely dry you put them in a jar and wait ~two years. They're ready when they start to smell like violets. Then you can use them to flavor your gin.

@jalefkowit By the way, a G&T is a classic drink to order in Spain. They serve them big in a large goblet, a double at the minimum. Wife and I visited Barcelona/Zaragoza/Madrid last fall and that was our go-to drink before heading out for dinner. And also when we got back of the hotel bar was still open.
