Pine nut tincture on vodka
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. The tincture is quite smooth to drink, despite having a considerable alcohol content. Be sure to scald the nuts before preparing to remove any traces of resin, which would otherwise give the drink an unpleasant taste and bitterness. But remember, this is still alcohol, so it should be consumed with caution.
