Want to know how to make vodka from alcohol? In principle, this is not difficult. The most important thing is to get high-quality ethyl alcohol. The cooking process will consist of just a few simple steps. What you read is, of course, not expert advice. Nevertheless, this information will help prepare a good drink.
Before making vodka from alcohol, it is important to know that neither distilled nor boiled water is suitable for this procedure. Such a liquid, having lost a considerable part of its beneficial substances, is no longer suitable in order to dissolve alcohol. In addition, water should not contain a large amount of salts. The more transparent and softer it is, the better.
How to make vodka from alcohol? What materials will be needed? For this, both medical and ethyl alcohol are suitable. In this case, there is no difference between them. Unless ethyl alcohol contains minor additives of water and some other substances.
Before dilution, a tool such as a hydrometer is useful to you. It determines the initial strength of alcohol. It needs to be known in order to calculate in what proportions to mix with water.
You will also need glucose. To make it, dissolve a kilogram of sugar in one liter of water. Boil the liquid over low heat, periodically removing the foam. When she stops appearing, the syrup will be ready.
First, pour water into the container, add glucose to it to taste. Flavors can also be sent there - for example, a little juice or citric acid. Having made a "non-alcoholic" workpiece, it is time to calculate the proportions in which mixing should be done. If you have 90-degree alcohol, then 100 ml of it should account for 131 ml of water. In this case, the strength of the resulting drink will be optimal - 40 °. If your alcohol is 85 degrees, you’ll need 117 ml of water. Fortress 40 ° is optimal, because with it the dissolution of the molecules of all substances that are part of the drink is best. The most important thing in this business is a sequence of actions. First you need to prepare water with the addition of glucose and flavors and only then dissolve alcohol in it, but not the other way around. Otherwise, vodka will come out of low quality.
Throw a few tablets of activated carbon into the resulting solution and shake thoroughly. At room temperature, infuse vodka for two hours and then strain it through a clean, dense cloth. Now bottle the drink so that the liquid reaches the very neck and cork tightly. Soak for several days. After all these procedures, you can drink a drink.
Speaking about how to make vodka from alcohol, one cannot but touch upon such a topic as flavoring additives. They can be fruits, berries, flowers.

The leaves of lemon balm or horseradish will make the drink green. Sandalwood or tartar will give an unusual, exotic color.
