Garlic Schnapps

[spudtater]

The Garlic Schnapps that I am currently infusing is actually turning out alright. It's gained a golden tint, and while the whiff of garlic once you open the bottle is overpowering, the taste has actually mellowed and rounded out a lot since I tasted it last month; it's taken the more subtle flavours of garlic as well as the obvious 'garlicky' taste.

Still unsure how to drink it though. Not quite a drink-on-its-own beverage. With a touch of tomato juice, maybe? Salt and lime?

I fear we may need to have another Synod... :-)

Yes, put it to death! Bring back Smirnoff Ice (the American one--made of barley, not vodka).

With coriander leaf and fresh chili paste? A kind of Burnt-at-the-stake Mary...

That sounds good. I'm salivating!

Iiiinteresting.
Can we call it the 'Joan-of-Arc'?

Orthodox alcohol!

Might I suggest, perhaps a touch of cranberry juice?

[original-aj.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think you can suggest cranberry juice actually, :)

[spudtater.livejournal.com]

I might try that.

Had another thought. ("Did it hurt?" asks the internal editor. Bah.)

Wait till springtime and add a little to Pimms. Mix the Pimms with celery tops and salad burnet as well as the lemming and cucumber.

> Pimms

Hmmm... odd. No odder than cranberry juice, though.

> salad burnet

Salad wotsit?

> lemming and cucumber

<lemmings>Oh no!</lemmings>

Salad burnet. It's a herb. Tastes kind of like cucumber, with a distinctive but pleasant aftertaste. Good in salads.

I was thinking about the flavours from raita or tzatziki, without the yoghurt. Cucumber, garlic, lemon. Pimms - that is, gin and caramel - and some more herbs to help the mouth feel along, since you don't have the yoghurt.

I may be giving this too much thought.
