One good thing about Gin I have learned, is that you can pretty much do anything as far a variations go.
I tried a small variation to the tried and True Odin's Gin and added Star of Anise.
The wife and myself like Ouzo, so i thought why not add a bit of licoricey flavour to a gin and see if we like it.
Now everyone's preferences are likely to be different, and that's ok, but by adding Star of Anise to our Odin's Gin, we have a winner for this household.
Doing my second batch of this recipe this weekend. :happy-partydance:
As you say, your imagination is your constraint! I started with OEG, but then tried just throwing all things liquirishy (as I have a love of liquorice too) and made this - Ouzo taste, but Gin consistency.... It's pretty good for me..
