Homemade Gin – Day 3

Homemade Gin – Day 3

Apr 06

 

Ladies and gentlemen, we have Gin!

 

With this kit, it only takes about 36 hours to make Gin.

 

The kit is great! It came complete with everything to make Gin except 750 ml of cheap run-of-the-mill Vodka. It even includes the bottles to put it in!

I was skeptical that the strainer would actually work and keep out all the solids I had added to the Vodka (see Day 2 post).

 

As you can see, it worked great! No solids whatsoever!

So, how does it taste? Well, I’ve never had Gin, but I can definitely say it’s a sippin’ kind of drink. That’s a good thing, though.

 

 It’s smooth with what I would call a hint of coconut and pine combined. I know, that sounds awful, but it’s not. Mixed with Sierra Mist, it tastes kind of like Ginger Ale, but smoother. It’s good.

 

Keep in mind, I’ve never had Gin so my description may be a bit unorthodox because I’m not at all familiar with Gin. Feel free to leave comments if I’ve completely botched describing it.

 

Honestly, this was drop dead easy to do and I think the results are great. The kit runs about $50 and they sell the seasonings separately so you can keep using the kit over and over.

 

I give this kit a solid thumbs up so if you like Gin, definitely give the Homemade Gin Kit a try – http://www.homemadegin.com/.
