Is it ok to bung these in the freezer so they stay cold for at least the Wednesday?!

Yep, should just go nice and syrupy

My werthers vodka is obscenely sweet! Will be a big sugar hit

Mine is a bit at the moment, but I took out about 25% of the bottle to make room. Once I top it back up that should balance it a bit

I always end up posting this.  It isn't too late to make some if you have a dishwasher.   (apologies for the news rag that it's from).

I think we’ve made a bit too much ?. Has anyone any experience of how long these keep if you don’t drink it all at Glasto or should we just tip any leftovers away?

They last ages - the alcohol is a preservative.

Haha, honestly we’ve made enough vanilla pineapple tequila to ruin almost all of our Glastos

Was it you or your other half on here asking for mixer suggestions for that?  Either way I see you went for Ting, which was my suggestion! Amazing stuff, goes so well with those flavours! :

[Phoenix Girl]

Yes me, we bought ting!! Haven’t tried it yet...V Excited!

I popped some frozen blackberries into a ltr of vodka a few months back

Ive just realised I didnt add any sugar.....

Anyone have any experience of this mix? Will it be horrible without? Can I add it now....?

Try it, if it's really bitter, make (or buy) some sugar syrup and add that to taste I would say.  It's not going to have the same effect as adding at the start, but might make it drinkable

Ooo thank you ill do just that  hadnt thought of sugar syrup!

Bump.

I'm torn what to go for. I really like the sound of vanilla pineapple tequila which is mentioned a few posts up. Werthers vodka will be made for the first time. And potentially a flavoured gin. Big decisions to make in this 3 month countdown... which is optimum time to start infusing.

Never thought about doing this for a festival, might give it a go sounds like good fun

I did raspberry vodka in 2017 and it was incredible. Definitely taking a couple of different ones this time. And yeh it is actually good fun to do. Sieving can be a pain in the ass though

Sorry if it's come up before 

My wife boils wortherz original with some other favoured toffy to make it creamer.. 

Adds the lot to vodka and booooom 

Looks like shit but once tried end ov... Very moreish 

She also does a fizzy bomb one tastes lush but not as good as above 

We'll prob start making our stuff in a bit

Werthers original was exactly what I was going to try - found it online. The jars are £3.90 on amazon, think i'll just try it normally now and make some more later

[Quark]

Ah man, love this thread but makes me sad to see Jeffie's annual post about the dishwasher vodka recipe. RIP pal 😞

Make sure to add some normal soft toffee.. To get the creamyness

I tried this last year. I was not a fan.
