BellySlater 15 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 A couple of years ago my missus suggested using brown sugar as it is more natural and not processed........ a revalation.....makes the gin tastses alot smooooooother. Makes it a crackin' tipple, even at 9.00 am when on a days beating / shooting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shifty 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 i use brown sugar & a good lug of honey ! very smooth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I use a recipe thats relatively close to those above. But when I mix the fruit and sugar, I normally add the juice of a fresh Lemon as well Never tried Brown Sugar, thats certainly one to try. Might even try one with Caster, Light Muscovado, Raw Cane and Granulated, see what the difference is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
