Jynnan Tonnyx
submitted over 11 years ago by radioactivecat

Last night I made up some Jynnan Tonnyx, from a flavor concentrate I made about a month ago. The concentrate was citrus zest, chinchona bark (thing that makes tonic, tonicy), allspice, juniper berries, and a some stevia. It needs steeping, but the initial taste was pretty damn good. Don't know that it really would pass as a 'gin and tonic flavor', but as the Guide says:

It is a curious fact, and one to which no one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advance, have invented a drink called jynnan tonnyx, or gee-N-N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand or more variations on the same phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Silolvian "chinanto/mnigs" which is ordinary water served at a slighty above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan "tzin-anthony-ks" which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that the names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds.

I've been interested in doing a gin flavor for awhile but haven't gotten around to it. I know some companies have artificial gin flavors... anyone have experience with them? I assume, OP, when you say "flavor concentrate" you mean you steeped the ingredients you mentioned in some kind of solvent or PG/VG and are just now trying it. If I'm incorrect and you're using flavors sourced from somewhere, would you mind sharing what flavors and where you got them?

I did. I steeped the herbals in everclear, and then evaporated it to 1/4 it's original volume. I use about 20% that, to 80% base to make the ejuice.

How long did you steep? Was the reduction heat assisted or just in open air at room temperature? I'm not sure how I feel about my final mixtures containing alcohol, but my worries might be baseless.

To reduce it I put a vessel in my immersion circulator at about 180 degrees and just check every now and again. Many flavoringd out on the market contain alcohol, and it's such a small percent of the final juice that I don't think it's a concern.
