I never use essences but I know the Still Spirits brand and I'm surprised there's no measurements specified. I even looked at Still Spirit's website and can't find anything.

In the absence of other advice I'd recommend mixing the essence with your spirit then add the base at about 25g at a time until it tastes right.

Hopefully someone with experience will chip in with some more specific instructions.

Hi mate
Usually it will be the full pack if it's anything like their other mixers bit I would do as Aidan suggests

Take a look at Richard's videos, they are all about making SS product mixes

thanks for the replies i was struggling with the amount i needed to use but looking at the videos it seems the whole pack goes in .

i can see the sense in adding a small amount at a time though until it tastes sweet enough .

thanks all , john.
