Try putting the caps in the freezer for a time this should shrink them a little!
Or a little cling film round the bottle neck

We have just sampled last years Damson vodka....WOW tastes similar to cherry brandy. A lovely drink and will make it again.

Starting to get thirsty! When do you think we should be bottling all the various 'sloe' & 'bramble' drinks? Is there a better way to get the booze from one bottle/jar to another bottle?

Default This years result !

Just bottled my first ever batch of sloe gin and am well chuffed. Plan to give some away as part of christmas for family so bought some small bottle vases from Ikea at 39p and put one of those rubber wine stops in it ! Looks really good and doesnt give away to much sloe gin.

They look great - what a gorgeous gift. I like the bottles. I use those third size wine bottles.

What lovely looking presents, I bet they'll be very well received.
