Notes
I don't know how long the shelf life is; the longest we've had rose gin and vodka is 1 year – it is SO good in cocktails.
Over time, the colour of the liquid in the bottle will change to a richer amber hue.
But try to add some lemon or lime to your glass of rose gin or rose vodka and see what happens...
I use gin and vodka with an alcohol percentage of 40; if you have neutral schnapps of 40%, you can use that.
Your schnapps must be completely neutral in taste unless you want to make spiced schnapps... Then you can use vodka or schnapps with citrus, rhubarb, elderflower...
