Adding citrus flavour to gin
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2021 6:02 pm
Having done 2 gins previously with lemon myrtle instead of citrus peel, my 3rd attempt i decided to cut the quantity as i thought it was too citrusy.
Now it has sat for 5 weeks boy was i wrong. There is now no hint of citrus. Eveybody that has tried it have said "its nice but needs citrus" :angry-banghead:
Without having to re-macerate botanicals and start again is there any way to add citrusy taste back in ?
I have citric acid would that work or would i be better off doing a quick maceration of citrus peel or lemon myrtle ?
Dont really want to have to re-run it and wait 5 weeks again if i can avoid it.
