Has anyone done an orange cacao nib gin?
If so would you share the recipes please?
I have searched around and can’t find a recipe as such. I have added cacao nib and orange peel and sugar to a pre made gin and made a liquer and it tasted pretty damn good to the wife and I, but, it leaves our mouths incredible dry and drinking a lot of water through the night, I’m hoping a good gin recipes incorporating the orange and cacao nib will solve this issue. Any help greatly appreciated thanks.

Hey Rob. That sounds mighty fine type of gin. I wonder what it would be like if you put those ingredients into high ABV for 24 hrs, then run it through the air still, after watering it down to 40% ABV. I wonder if that would smooth it out somewhat.

What was left in pot after distilling the 400ml (backset I suppose) smelt and looked like a Milo concoction lol time will tell.
