I thought you can get rhubard and custard hard boiled sweets no? Anyone tried using those in vodka?

Large bottle of JD & large bottle of spiced rum - then just buy mixers on site. Lighter & space saving compared to cans of anything, and then we tend to buy the odd cold pint here & there as we fancy it.

Working and taking the crew coach so will buy from the bars mostly. Probably just take some vodka orange and maybe a bag of red.

[jamesrfisher]

1 x 24 can tray of Rev James

1 x 24 can tray of London Pride

1 x flask of whisky (not sure which)

Various pints from around the site, especially Wednesday and thursday.

[SeaShells]

Cider, gin, vodka and a boxed white wine or 2 for me

just bought some for this very purpose

[tommyds]

1 box of wine and hip flask of decent whisky

I have the occasional beer/cider from the bars but I'm not a big drinker and get terrible hangovers that are not helped by being in a tent

Might do the same! Seems a hell'a lot easier than mashing up rhubarbs

Rhubarb vodka ? How do you do that? Made sherbet lemon and skittles last year! Also took home brew cider, elderberry and elderflower wine plus about 8 cases of cider

This is how I've done it in the past.

The rhubarb and custard boiled sweets dissolve completely in the vodka. I usually make mine with about 200g of sweets in a 70cl bottle of vodka. If you decant the vodka into a 1L plastic bottle first it gives it a bit of shaking room to help the process along.

It's an idea to sterilise the plastic bottles first. Good idea from .......(? Sorry can't remember) about using little clear bottles

Yep, a couple of us posted about it on the previous page. Would recommend them over all the other flavours I've tried goes really well with the vodka

I usually make them up in 1 or 2 litre bottles (depending on whether I'm doing different flavours or not) and then decant into smaller plastic bottles. I prefer either Lucozade sport or kids fruit shoot bottles - other squirty bottles are available.

[matt1991]

I usually make up about 3 litres of vodka and coke and about 3 boxes of wine. Probs be the same this year

[LondonTom]

Will be doing Apple Pie Bourbon again.(Dan already posted the link) Absolutely delicious it was!! Will likely also bring a litre of Vodka , might split into a couple of flavours I am thinking Wurthers Orginal and something fruity!!! (Previous attemps with vodka to make Jelly Baby/Skittles vodka ..I haven't been majorly impressed with.)

Will get also get a number of cans in, depending on supermarket offers, but normally 5-8 a day on top of drinking from Brothers/Cider bus when ever I go past

This sounds really good, how long do you have to mix it for, and how often do you shake when it comes to hard boiled sweets?

Is flavoured gin nice? I've never tried it but might give it a go with berries

Normally I'd just do beer but it's going to be a lot of weight to carry and it'll take up a lot of space on the coach.

Flavoured Gin, that sounds good, was thinking of doing some flavoured vodka, some ideas on here sound ace, but prefer gin myself, screw it, I am gonna try it. lemon sherbet gin, why the devil not - I'll give it a whirl.

[stardustjunkie]

I've got some blackberry vodka and strawberry vodka in the making at the moment, can't wait to try them!

Can't remember exactly but it only took 1 or 2 days as far as I can remember. Only shook the bottle a couple of times, just to separate out some of the sweets that had stuck together.

Sorry for the Daily Mail link, but this works brilliantly

I made flavoured vodka in 75 minutes last year.

haha, I'm sure Gordon's do a flavoured version which is/was limited edition. Didn't try it though, I'm guessing the flavour would've been weaker than I'd have liked. Screw it... I'll try it too!

If anyone's making different flavours of vodka try pear flavour. Absolut Pear vodka is the nicest spirit I've ever tasted.. raspberry and vanilla flavours being among the worst.

Oh aswell, vodka with lemon and lime coke is nice, tastes just like you've gone all out and got proper lemon vodka

Worst vodka I have ever made/had

Extra strong mints, like drinking mouthwash!

[WillyVWade]

Werther's Original Vodka.

Smooth... Smooth... Smooth... Smoo... Oh god it burns!!!!

Smooth...

[dimus]

Glacier mint vodka is great.

Just get a bottle of cheap ass voddy and over about 3 days add a bag of glacier mints shaking several times a day till all dissolved. It tastes great and can easily be drunk neat even using the crappest spirit you can find

[pentura]

Seen some people said mixing flavoured vodka with Sprite / lemonade..

What's the consistency of this like? Would the vodka / sweet mixture not be too thick to mix with the lemonade? Or would you mix using a large amount of vodka so the sweets are evenly dispersed throughout yet keeping the same consistency of the vodka?

Just wondering..might try one of these this year
