Red Currant Gin

Step 1

Combine gin and red currants in a mason jar or other tightly sealing container.

Step 2

Use a spoon to gently mash the currants a little to help them release some juice, then set aside to infuse for 1 month, shaking every few days.

Step 3

When the gin is ready to use, strain out the solids. You may want to gently press against the leftover currants in order to extract all of the liquid. Pour the finished gin through a strainer. I like to use a coarse strainer, followed by a very fine strainer in order to get a clearer final product.Store the gin in a mason jar or sealed bottle and use as you would any other gin.
