What would the A-B test look like? I have more limes…

fedward replied to your post: The Reason for the Booze

You have piqued my curiosity. The oil in a citrus peel isn’t very soluble in water, which is why punches are best made with an oleo-saccharum (muddle peels with sugar and let rest, and the sugar extracts the oil for you). Now I want to A-B test this.

Is the concern that the simple syrup won’t bond to the infused alcohol properly? Or is the concern that the alcohol won’t accept the citrus oils in the lime peels?

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I'm happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I'm done.
