Lou and I are currently working our way through our raspberry and blueberry gin (and feeling suitably wobbly as a result  )! Easy to make and it's the same for vodka. Measures are pleasingly vague... Get an airtight glass container (and a bottle with a screw cap is fine although it's a bugger getting the fruit in and out), 3/4 fill with the fruit of your choice, a wine glass of sugar and then top up with gin or vodka. Shake daily for a week, then weekly for three months and that's it! The blueberry gin was a stunner, the raspberry less so, hence the mix we're drinking now which rocks! And don't throw the fruit away! Gin-soaked raspberries on ice cream is how decadence is supposed to be! This is all a bit late for Glasto, I know, but presumably Stinky's drinks will be quicker as the flavouring is more concentrated. Not sure I'll try them, but having said that... something has just occurred to me... Fruit Salad Vodka... hmmm... Oh, and I'm told that mincemeat vodka is delicious (as in the stuff you put in mince pies!) but you'll definitely need to filter that!
As for the sloe gin we made last winter...
