Well the sloe gin and sloe sherry and strawbery brandy seems to have done well. The chilli vodka (now I know to make it strong and cut it to strength) is not a bad drink.

So I get an email from a friend with this vodka recipe and it aint half bad.

- Juice of one lemon, no seeds cause that makes it bitter. Squeeze out including the pith.
- A little lemon skin, grated.
- 7 green chilli, slices, seeds left in
- 4 table spoon of sugar
- One peice of cinamon
- Small piece of ginger, finely chopped, ideally smashed in a mortar, use the lemon juice to get all the flavour out.

Mix the above together and add 1 bottle of vodka.

Return all the above to the bottle, seal tight and put into the fridge.

After 1 week filter the vodka through muslin a few times, refold the muslin each time so you get a finer mesh and cleaner vodka.

Tastes superb with soda and lime
