Juniper tincture
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you're not good at botany, never collect juniper berries yourself, as only one species is considered edible. The berries have a strong aroma, so don't try to add more—this will spoil the taste. Use only high-quality vodka so the drink won't disappoint you. The drink is ready to serve.
