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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: roof avens rootstocks and basil in an amount of 50-100 kg at a ratio of 1:2 are mixed with water at a ratio of 1:1.5, heated to the boiling point, boiled during 15-20 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, maintenance during 5-15 days and infusion draining. One performs pouring with 70-80°C hot boiled water, infusing during 12-16 hours and draining. One separates part of water-and-alcohol and water infusion, filters both parts and combines the main infusions.

Sugar syrup, the colorant, the combined infusion, ascorbic and citric acids and potassium sorbate are blended and subjected to hot dispensing. One obtains the water-and-alcohol infusion of apricot wood. One mixes the water-and-alcohol infusion, the base and the water-and-alcohol liquid till 18-50 % vol. proof; the beverage is put to rest and filtered.
