Flavoring shine

[fishshepherd]

Hello, I am new here and reading and learning. VERY interesting hobby. I wanted to start a discussion that I haven't seen (or couldn't find in the search) about flavoring shine.

Question: There are a lot of recipes for making liquers and other copies of retail products, but I was wondering about ideas for just adding a tiny bit of flavor to full strength shine - without adding sugar and cutting and such. Anyone have suggestions that taste amazing?

Cheers.

i agree not much on here on this- i havent tried it but i imagine fruit teas would work well- also there are purpose made food flavourings (i might expt with the flavourart ones when i get some decent neutral)

Depends on what you're flavoring.

Saying you want to flavor shine is like saying your want to flavor beer. Is it a Port? Ale? Lager? Stout?

So what you're flavoring...is it a Grain Whiskey? a Rum? Neutral?

just made some pretty passable schnapps from a mix of the low tails from a sugar run- at approx 25%- by adding a fruit tea bag (twinings strawberry and raspberry) to a jam jars worth over 30 mins, plenty of fruit on the nose and about the right amout of fruit flavour without any cloying sweetness u get on the commercial girly rubbish

couldnt recommend this more, excellent way to use up some of em not too funky tails- shame about the pink colour but otherwise sorted

I like to put a large ice cube in mine, mighty tasty, turns it all cold flavored.

You might find some ideas here on how to flavor most anything... its mostly schnapps but its a hell of a reference....for all kinds of flavorings


Enjoy,

Just decide what you want and go for it. Shine can be taken in many directions. If you don't like it try something else. So many fruits, so many spices.
