after reading an article by Gary Regan I decided to try pineapple and serrano chilli infused tequila. It was enjoyed by Customers and Kitchen staff alike. Another good Tequila infusion is strawberries. That was easier to sell than the other tequila infusion. Cheers! George

Beans: I am still at Grand Central. the gin that I first encountered with basil gin was Bombay Sapphire, though I am currently using beefeater. Basically add 6-8 large basil leaves, then leave them in the bottle for a week. you will have to take the basil out after a while as they may go mouldy. Garden of Earthly Delights. 1 1/2 shots Basil Gin 1 shot Pineapple Juice 1/4 shot fresh lime juice 1/4 shot Maraschino liqueur Shake with ice, then strain over fresh ice in a hi-ball glass. Top with Tonic Water. I hope I got that right, as I can't find my recipe sheets anywhere. There was another drink with basil gin in it. Cheers! George

Zimbabwe Vodka Additives Belvedere Vodka, mentions additives is there a thread on "Additives in Vodka"? George

apparently up to 2 per cent of a vodka can be anything, and doesn't have to be listed as an ingredient. sugar and gycerine are two of them. must look for more information. George
