Hi Likker
I habe been playing with fruit infusions for a while.
The basic formula I use now is 500g frozen berries, 700 ml neutral (40%) and instead of sugar I add 750ml sweetish wine. Wine adds sweetness and complexity and alcohol content is reduced. I use the same formula for fruit gins.
Not sure of the effect of reduced alcohol on panties dropping. Some of my taste testers are ladies of mature years and I doubt very much that they would tell me the status of their underwear after a few drinks!
Experiment began when I got a lot of free white wine when I ordered some red online for my hubby when Covid started. It was sweeter than I prefer to drink but has worked really well with the fruit infusions.
I think I read that freezing the fruit first helps with the infusion ( something to do with breaking down the cells walls but don't quote me on that).
Cheers
Carol
