After making a ton of marmalade I've come across a recipe for Seville marmalade gin, takes three weeks, I think I'll give it a go.

My missus made some lime gin marmalade before Christmas. Didn't take anything like that long. It's ruddy lovely, other than having the consistency of blutack.

I was originally looking for a Seville orange gin recipe, found them, and it's best drunk after three years - well that's not going to happen.lol

Had my second tasting of my sloe gin, damson gin and quince brandy. Now very happy, the damson gin is particular, is nectar in a glass.

Happily given some slivovitz today, will alternate between my sloe gin until beckons Morpheus.
Rum is my spirit of choice. Usually I drink OVD (Old Vatted Demerara) which is bottled in Dundee, so it's Scottish rum. I do like a schooner of sherry or port occasionally, but haven't touched whisky for many years - too addictive

Gin makes me sad. I know that's a common complaint but i was shedding tears on gin long before i knew it's reputation so it can't be psychosymatic.
Love my single malts. Love a really good brandy. Rum is tasty and lots of fun although i usually enjoy it cocktail based.
Vodka is the desert island spirit simply because it goes with everything. That's providing the desert island has a full selection of mixers.
I drank a tea based spirit quite a lot at one of my local pubs when i lived in Bristol. It came in either 40,50 or 60 percent proof. I stopped drinking the 60% when i couldn't even remember what i should be feeling ashamed about the following day.
I love tequila. One lime wedge squeezed into the shot and then another traditionally sucked on after pouring 25ml of basic petrol down your throat. The real trick of tequila is not to taste it and just get it down your neck as quickly as possible and then savour its loopy effects.

South Tyroleans do make some excellent stuff. Next time you are down there look for some Gravenstein (distilled from a particular type of apple) or some stuff from stone pine cones (Zirben or Zirbeler). Hazelnut schnaps is not bad either, as long as you get a non-sweet one.
I'm like that with vodka. Can't stomach it now. Even 25 years later...

Have tried the hazelnuts schnapps - much prefer fruitier ones personally, but hey you can't beat schnapps
