Swaps measure for measure. Sugar runs from 170 to 300 g per liter, so taste carefully and adjust any syrup.
Homemade vodka mix
Mix two parts vodka, one and a half parts apple juice, one part 2:1 syrup and half a part lemon juice. It tastes of real apple, not candy. It comes out pale, and a drop of green coloring fixes that.
Has no sugar or acid. For each 30 ml of liqueur, mix 15 ml of brandy with one and a half barspoons of syrup and half a barspoon of lemon juice.
Syrup, lemon, and neutral spirit
Does not work on its own. It copies only the balance of the liqueur, and the apple flavor has to come from apple juice.
Storage
It will not spoil at its strength, but daylight fades the green dye, and a faded bottle makes the drink look tired. Keep it in a cupboard.
