Hi there,
I have been trying Cocorum of late,now on the third bottle,I use 45% neutral(undiluted) and half the stated sugar, I lost my sweet tooth long ago.
HTH.

Great thank you! Wasn't sure how much the added sugar would effect the overall percent of the drink.

You are absolutely correct - you need to dilute to whatever your preferred drinking strength is. The amount of liquid in the essence bottles isn't going to have much dilution effect!

Water down Prestige essences?

2016-06-08T07:55:10+00:00

Hi all, I bought some cocorum and cherry brandy Prestige essences recently. I'm not sure if I need to dilute my 40% spirit to 20% and 25% respectively before I add my essences and sugar as mentioned on the bottle. if I don't dilute wouldn't it make a 40% coconut rum and cherry brandy which I don't really want?

Thanks
