Query: alcohol
Wandering blissfully into the world or cordial making. I started slowly on this trek last October when I shucked two pomegranates into some vodka. I completed the second step in the process, adding the sugar syrup, in the past couple of weeks. Turns out that I should have done that last December or so. Ah well, live and learn. I tasted it a couple of days ago and am kinda worried that I put too much sugar in it. We shall see in a few months what its like. I used pomegranate juice in the sugar syrup to pump the flavor.
I found Italian Prune Plums in the grocery store last night. So heres the query part; Should I use rum or vodka for the alcohol? Its going to be warm anyhow since I'm going to use honey to sweeten it so the rum warmness won't be a huge factor. If I use rum I can use a higher proof than if I use vodka. I'm not sure that it would be a good idea to use the rum though. I suppose that I could use brandy, but I know nothing about brandy or the flavors it would impart.
roy_baty said Eww to the rum idea. I want other people's opinion.

I did a sultana plum rum that I am told is delightful. :) I can't stand it myself, something about it is overpoweringly plastic to me, but just to me. I'm blaming the cilantro gene.

For another idea... Amaretto.
