I'm in New Zealand with an enormous lemon tree and a real glut of fruit. I made the lemon gin from some revolting tasting stuff. I had a sip when my lemon gin was a month old (yes, I know its supposed to be 3 years but it became the colour of sunshine and was just too tempting...) Completely delicious! Obviously the lemon zest has not completely disolved but the taste is perfection. I have sealed it up though and will exercise patience....maybe leave it another year!

As I've just come back from shopping with unwaxed lemons - I'll now have to go back to get some more gin and make that one too. I've an insulated bottle carrier in the loft I can make use of to put it in the boot of my car. Am looking forward to Gooseberry & raspberry gins and much much later lemon gin!!Thank you Gooseberry gin was mentioned last weekend and am delighted to have found out how to make it.
