Cedar Gin Ingredients

Method

Cedar Gin Preparation

  1. 1

    Infusing the Gin

    In a large glass jar, combine the old growth cedar branches, juniper berries, coriander seeds, dried orange peel, and grains of paradise.

  2. 2

    Adding Vodka

    Pour the vodka over the mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are submerged.

  3. 3

    Sealing and Storing

    Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the infusion process.

  4. 4

    Straining the Mixture

    After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solid ingredients.

  5. 5

    Sweetening the Gin

    Add simple syrup to the strained gin to taste, adjusting sweetness as desired.

  6. 6

    Final Bottling

    Bottle the cedar-infused gin and label it. Store in the refrigerator or a cool place.
