It is the calories that I wish to avoid.
I noticed on Xmas eve that my weight was creeping up again
This time of year and the current inclement weather here curtail some of my usual fat burning activities.
Steps have been taken to address the issue.

Robert,
Is it the sweet taste you want to minimise, the thicker mouthful or the calories?

I've recently done a bunch of dried fruit infusions, including a blueberry gin. I found it sweet enough without any added sugar, although I didn't like it as much as the cranberry gin that I made.

I am seeking the Holy Grail.
I want liqueurs that don't need a sackful of sugar.
Any response will be gratefully received.
It may be spat back at you.

It's quite a nice taste to it but i can see why you would put sugar into it

I tried soaking a handful of rhubarb in 60% neutral with the old junipers......it came out only a bit rhubarbish, but enough to have a hint of it (after straining/filtering)

Try adding some sugar, it will turn it into a really nice drink.

Hi while i had a small amount of spirit left i thought I'd experience abit i had some blueberrys so i mashed them to a pulp to get the liquid and added it to my shine after i filtered it . Taste wise not bad but i also added some blueberrys to the jar.
