Posted: Tuesday Dec 08, 2009 6:28 amjust yesterday I made an orange alcohol.
6litres of 40% neutral spirit
Skin of 12 oranges
juice of 8 oranges
Threw it all in the still and and distilled as normal.
Very very nice! awesome orange flavour.
I only watered it down to 45% in the end because at about 40% it was going cloudy. I assume thats the oils from the skin.
