Today we are making a Dragon Fruit Compound Gin.

If you would prefer a kit that has all the botanicals already in it try this one: https://amzn.to/3AzhxYQ

Recipe for Dragon Gin here:
1 quart of neutral grain spirit
2.8g juniper berries
2g lightly toasted coriander
1g orris root
.7g citrus zest
.3g Tasmanian peppercorn (regular peppercorn will work)
.3g bay leaf
.2g cinnamon stick
2g toasted almond
.05g lavender (a pinch)
.1g cardamom seeds (the seeds from 2 pods)
5g dehydrated red flesh dragon fruit
2.5ml honey (1/2 tsp)

Gently crush all ingredients in a mortar & pestle. Add all the above ingredients to a quart mason jar, fill it to the top with a neutral grain spirit (vodka), and let it sit for 2-3 days on your counter top. After a couple days, strain out the botanicals, and enjoy.

FAST method:
After the alcohol and the botanicals have been mixed together, place the jar in a bin of water with an immersion circulator. Set the temp to 140f and cook for 60 - 90 minutes. Once finished, refrigerate for 2 hours, strain out the botanicals, and enjoy.
