Hey All,
I've had a request to make alcoholic red creaming soda. Does anyone have any ideas? I know it's a girly drink but, I've just started negotiations about a keg system...
Cheers

How about:
1kg of dextrose
1kg Rasberries
500gm honey
Make up to 22 litres and toss say a champagne yeast?

Not really sure at all, I'll throw a few ideas out there.
Very tricky, as the red will probably have fermentables in it and will change flavour as it ferments out.
Best chance I can think of is to tip two bottles of voddy, a bottle of sweet red flavouring into a keg and top up with water. Gas and enjoy! Boozy red fizzy drink. If you have access to a still you could brew and distill your own neutral spirit for the HB aspect.
Also possibly try about 500gm LDME with 2.5Kg of Dextrose and juice from 2 lemons. Use the cleanest most neutral yeast you can find. Brew a kind of alco soda thingee, then add a flavouring when you consume.
A fair bit of trial and error will be needed.
Best of luck, let us know what is/isn't a success.
Cheers,
Greg

If you are pressured for time to come up with this alcoholic drink try,
1-2 bottle of COTTEE'S fruits of the forest crush cordial.
1-2 bottles vodka.
19 litres water then gas, enjoy.

Creaming soda has a vanilla flavour , not rasberry or strawberry

Creaming soda is flavoured by chemicals, the only natural thing in there is the water, and maybe the overload of sugar.
By a vanilla essence from the supermarket and make up something like an alcoholic soda water (dex, water and yeast/nutrient plus some lactose) then add essence and bottle as per normal.

I go for the creaming soda mixed with vodka trick myself. You get what you want.

Cheers Guys,
Will let you know how I go. Just gotta wait for a fermenter to be free, then after the Dopplebock - I'll start experimenting.
Science has never been so much fun...

The kids have there own keg , which they fill with cottee's cordial and gas ,Great soft drink

, kids told me that they use Raspberry not the fruits of the forest crush, the raspberry is very close to creaming soda just need to sneak the vanilla in some how ?

Red creaming soda has a raspberry taste. Creaming Soda is brown and has a vanilla flavour.
