Whiskey with GingerI rather fancy whiskey with ginger root would sit rather nicely in the hip flask for the remaining shoots of the season.
Any recipes anyone?

distilled scrumpy cider,40 liters makes about half a liter of brandy. in france the same drink is called calvados,they make theirs bootleg style out of cider pulp,which incidently is usually free from cider presses.the cloves i use is the little spikey nlack things used as a spice.
when yer next in a supermarket have a look for the cider brandy,its realy very very good stuff!

Slightly off topic, but how would one, in theory, distill cider into calvados 'bootleg' style?
