Liqueur and Spirit Making
The Essencia range from New Zealand, offers the home user a range of spirit and liqueur flavourings of a quality previously only available to commercial producers.
The great value 28ml of flavourings are securely contained in glass bottles & make between 1.125 & 2.25 Litres dependent on the type.
These superior flavours may be consumed immediately after adding to the base 'spirit', but improve substantially if aged for more than a week.
Whilst a 40% ABV base spirit such as vodka will provide excellent results the 20-23% high alcohol yeast fermented 'base spirit kit' on this Web-site provide an acceptable alternative.
