ALCOHOL BEVERAGE BASE PREPARATION METHOD AND ALCOHOL BEVERAGE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C12G3/06 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: coluria roots and rootstocks and basil at a ratio of 1:1.05 are preliminarily mixed with water at a ratio of 1:3, heated to the boiling point, boiled during 20-30 minutes and separated from the liquid phase. Then one performs the components pouring with a water-and-alcohol liquid with 40-45% vol. proof at a ratio of 1:2, infusing during 5-15 days and infusion draining. One performs repeated pouring of the components with 70-80°C hot boiled water, infusing during 12-16 hours and the infusion draining. One separates part of water-and-alcohol and water infusion, filters both parts and combines the main infusions. One obtains sugar syrup by way of heating part of water-and-alcohol infusion to 50-60°C, sugar strewing (under stirring conditions) into the infusion, stirring till complete dissolution and filtration. The colorant is obtained by way of addition of part of water infusion into sugar in an amount of 1-2% of the sugar weight, heating under stirring conditions till sugar melting, the temperature conditioning to 180-200°C, sugar caramelisation, introduction of the mixture of water infusion and the liquid phase, heated to 60-65°C till the colorant density is equal to 1.35 g/cm³ and cooling under stirring conditions to 60-65°C. One blends sugar syrup, the colorant, the combined infusion, ascorbic and citric acids and potassium sorbate; the blend is stirred; the base is subjected to hot dispensing. The alcohol beverage is produced by way of mixing the base in an amount of 120-150 l with the alcohol containing liquid till 1000 dal and 8 - 40 vol. proof.

EFFECT: enhancement of the base and the beverage organoleptic indices and their stability in case of storage during 1 year.
