Lemon Pepper Gin

Making your own flavored alcohol is really easy and leads to some extremely delicious drinks. This recipe makes a peppery gin that is perfect for caesars and other savory drinks. 

 

I used a 1/4 cup of black pepper corns and the rind of half  a lemon for the flavor combination.

For the alcohol I used a 1.14L bottle of gin. First I reserved a cup of it in a separate container (or you can just reserve it in the bottle) in case the flavored gin became too peppery and needed to be diluted.

The rest of the bottle I poured into a very large jar and the tossed in the lemon rind and pepper corns.

 

The next part is really easy so you can relax. (example of relaxation above)

Just let the gin sit.

You can give it a shake every day or so. It will go from clear to a brown to almost black. I tasted mine every three days and it was peppery enough for us in one week.  Don't go by how it smells, it will be very peppery smelling right away but the taste takes a few days to develop.

 

Once the flavor is strong enough for you just strain the peppercorns and peel out  and pour into  bottles or canning jars. Or just mix yourself a drink right away!

After all that hard work of waiting and occasional shaking you probably need one.

Have you ever used berries??? I would love to make some fresh cranberry vodka but I wonder if they would mold? Have to look that up.

Did you see this blog? I will warn you I laughed so hard I almost threw up! Bring your best dominican accent with you.

Maybe it is my sense of humor but I spit my lunch everywhere!

Happy Wednesday!

I actually have two massive jars of cranberry lime vodka in the works right now! they need to sit for a few weeks and you have to add a bit of sugar to get rid of the bitterness from the cranberry. The alcohol stops any mold from growing

I don't like gin much, but this looks like something I could tolerate. I do love lemons... and I do love Caesars.... mmmm.

I do love gin - I've never thought to add anything to it besides tonic. Thanks for the idea!
