This is an incredibly simple Apple Pie Shine Recipe that combines a neutral spirit with other readily available ingredients. ABV will vary depending on he ABV of your neutral spirit, but a word of caution - this one is extremely easy to drink!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 2 L Apple Juice
- 3/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 6+ Cinnamon Sticks
- Honey (Optional; we don't recommend adding more than 40g)
- 5x Whole Cloves
- ½ Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 500 ml 90% ABV Neutral Spirit
- 5x 500 ml Mason Jars for Storage
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine the apple juice, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, cloves, and brown sugar in a large pot and bring to a boil (If using honey, add this just before it reaches boiling point.)
- Boil (covered) for 10 to 15 minutes before turning off the heat.
- Once it has completely cooled down, add the neutral spirit and mix.
- Pour into your mason jars through a strainer, then add 1 x Cinnamon stick to each jar for storing.
- Place in the fridge - this tastes great straight away, but leaving it for a few weeks really brings out the flavours!
- Combine with your favourite mixer.
