Homemade booze recipes

Have a bash at making homemade booze with these delicious infused and flavoured drinks recipes.

Give vodka, gin, fizz or rum an infusion of seasonal flavour. Try your hand at elderflower fizz or rhubarb gin in spring. Summer was made for tropical pineapple and chilli rum. As the nights draw in, turn early autumn’s bounty into sloe or blackberry gin.

Homemade booze also makes a thoughtful Christmas present fro any amateur mixologist or cocktail lover. Take your pick from cranberry and orange vodka, spiced whisky or bottled chocolate orange negroni. Homemade booze is the perfect rainy-day kitchen project!
