Homemade Absinthe

[Brittoker]

so can anyone answer my question, what is the highest proof alcohol availible in the UK?

[Nochowderforyou]

Don't they sell "everclear" in the UK? They do here in Canada anyways. It's about 90% proof.

Erm... 40% Whisky/Vodka/Gin. I think you can get some Tequila's at about 50%

Go to Mexico, my dad bought 2 bottles of 75ml, 40% Tequila for the equivalent of 50p each

2 answers there bro.

Why don't you just go to a liqour store and have a look?

Yeah, what I said is pretty much correct, 40% seems to be our limit really, but you can get 50%+ Tequila, I'm sure of it

I thought Everclear was availible everywhere...95% alcohol.

What would happen if you took some homemade absinth (or any absinth for that matter) and made some Green Dragon with THAT (soaking weed in it for a few weeks). That'd be pretty fucked up.

You could buy some absinthe, to get you through, and also it would be something to taste against and get it just right

You just find some ether somewhere

Blue Label smirnoff is 45% I think I'll just try it with that

[Brittoker]

anyone else here try to make there own absinthe, if so, how did it go??

^Yeah dude. I tried it once. Remember not to use anything lower than 100 proof, or otherwise the absinthe will come out a murky brown.. and not the fluorescent green that is desired.

Your best bet it to get everclear and add water so you can control exactly what proof you want. Add a little more wormwood than the recipe says... but not too much because wormwood can be toxic. When you drink it, do it with two ice cubes and a sugarcube.

I put it in a mason jar outside.. and when I came back.. it had all spilled out =(.

Good luck, dude.

I don't think I can get ahold of everclear in the UK, do you think using 45% Blue label vodka will be alrite that will be just under 100 proof,well it'll be about 95 proof. Also did you distill yours?
