Hooch

Just found some Lemon Hooch in my local store, I had forgotten what it tastes like and wifey likes it. Anyone know of a clone for this please?

I can remember some alcohol pop called hooch here in the uk, you can’t mean that can you? Other than that hooch usually refers to the “d” word (plus istilling) Which is a no no as it’s illegal. Perhaps a super strong cider, back in the eighties the convoy hippies called strong cider hooch, I was a victim at many festivals! Those were the days (drones on and on about how all festivals are crap now)....

Yes, I think the op does mean the alcoholpop you could (and still can) buy in the shop.

I have no idea on a recipe though.

This basically tastes like shop bought lemonade but is alcoholic, right? I remember trying the stuff in the early 1990s when I was probably not old enough to drink it!

I suspect you are going to struggle to make anything like it to be honest. You would need to find a way to ferment sugary water (plus lemons) in away that left a lot of residual sweetness. I guess you could use artificial sweetener which won’t ferment?

Thanks guy's, yes it is the alcopop I am trying to find a clone for. As for sweetening I thought a mixture of sugar and Splenda (I have Cornices so can keep it cold enough to halt further fermentation). Just a thought really.
