Hi,

Other than off the shelf bottled spirits, can anyone recommend an alternative base in which I can use for my Dit Da Jow? Can I use 50% ethanol and 50% water? Is there a better alternative?

The tax on spirits here in NZ is pretty high. The cheapest I can find for one Gallon (3.7 l) of Vodka is NZ$130.

BTW am following the formula in Tooth from a Tigers Mouth.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks,
David
