Bathtub Gin

[cheshire-cheese]

Has anyone had a go at making bathtub / compound gin?
I have been tinkering on a small scale. I started picking hops from the garden and infusing them in vodka for four days. It was a pleasant drink but I thought it might benefit from juniper infusion. So another four days with juniper has improved it a lot. Just wondering what other botanicals to lob in there. Perhaps coriander seed...

I was thinking of the commercial brand, it’s good but a bit of s blunt instrument



I have but can’t access at the moment an excellent little book called Gin Made Me Do It by Jassy Davis, she goes into the possible botanicals, it’s quite cheap on Kindle

I don’t think you can call it gin unless it contains juniper, other common additions are Angelica, orris, one dried citrus peel

I notice the commercial makers macerate the botanicals in only a small amount of the alcohol and then blend it in - this must give the best control I suppose?

I have a litre of vodka that’s been sitting doing nothing for s while, I might have s go
