Flavouring Neutral Spirit
I'm new to this, I'm going to stick to Neutral Spirit till I get used to distilling, then I'll change it up and try my hand at other spirits.
Until then I'm planning on flavouring my neutral spirit.
I have ordered a few top shelf flavours, a few find, some vodkas and a spiced rum. and was wondering if anyone knew of any other flavour producers or had any recipes for any other flavours. I'm open to trying anything. So fire away

Re: Flavouring Neutral Spirit
A few of my favorite uses for neutral:
Check out the Strawberry Panty Dropper recipe if you would like to make some sweet desert type drinks with your neutral. I use the same process on various berries and fruits.
Gin is lots of fun to make with a neutral. Start easy by following Odin’s easy gin recipe then expanding from there.
Have fun.

Wide cuts of Ted’s FFV & medium toasted French oak seems to be coming along nicely for me.
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.
Per a conversation I had with Mr. Jay Gibbs regarding white oak barrel staves: “…you gotta get it burning good.”

Hey Hudster
There is a guy here “Jimbo” he has a recipe for “Ginger Liquour”. If you like ginger it’s a fantastic recipe. Easy to make and can be tweaked to suit your taste. I sometimes put a shot in a beer. Instant fortified ginger beer.

Also in the board index is a section on liqueurs

Re: Flavouring Neutral Spirit
The topic is very vast, with the neutral you can do many products. I do not use synthetic essences but I try to do everything with fruit, herbs, wood etc of natural origin. Lately I made a brandy with some herbs and it's fantastic, delicate and not intrusive.

If you use lemons for anything, peel them first and do Demy's Limoncello:

With a good strong neutral it only takes a few days as opposed to other recipes that ask for 40 (or more!) and to my taste it's the best going!

Gin, if that's your thing. As others suggested, lots of uses for neutral but I'm laughing at the vodka essence. Is it just bottled water?

It's a vanilla vodka, ingredients are syrup and vanilla. I will do that myself in the futureCorsaire wrote:Gin, if that's your thing. As others suggested, lots of uses for neutral but I'm laughing at the vodka essence. Is it just bottled water?
