I just got some gin (Dover Strait American Gin) at a low price (obviously too low - Mea culpa) and it tastes like grain alcohol with maybe a strong metallic flavor!

What else can it be used for besides drinking? I've heard cleaning jewelry, and eyeglasses, adding to shampoo enhance the cleaning process, or to apply to fever and poison ivy. Anything else?

Mixed with water, maybe shoe stretching solution?

Put sloe berries in it for a few months and make sloe gin. That will take the sting out of it.

After shave?

Add gin, tonic and lime to cucumber in a jar. Excellent pickles result!
Use it in cooking: Great for pie crusts, cheesecakes, stir fries.

A win-win suggestion...it makes the berries edible and may indeed make the gin drinkable!

That won'd get me "pickled"? :drunken_smilie:

Mr. BSR:

How about Blueberries and vanilla?

You could also use it in lieu of vodka in a limoncello recipe and end up with an herb infused limoncello, which would be a refreshing riff on a gin fizz!

 

[Mr. B. Scott Robinson]

I think you could try any hard skin berry. What is the absolute worst possible outcome?

You give the mix to a disliked relative?

Cheers,

Given the potential number on my list of recipients meeting the selection criteria suggested in the post above, I better go out and get another case of that economy priced gin. Can't have anyone feeling left out. LOL.

I have a couple like that but fortunately they live at the other end of the Left Coast. We get along best that way . . .

I mixed some with my shampoo and it seemed to work great. All my hair fell out, but as I picked it up from the shower floor it seemed clean and shiny!
