I have just bought some prestige essences. The instructions state to dissolve sugar in 50cl spirit, and then to top up. Am I suppose to top up with spirit or water. - I am guessing that it is water - i.e sambuca uses 50% Sprit and sugar/water should be in high 30%. Other liquor essences, with a 40% spirit may end up at around 30%.
