A high rating from me. But I will explain. My 'yoghurt liqueur' was haphazard measured blend of: 4:3:2:1 double/heavy cream, jonge genever, 2:1 cane syrup, acv (make your own adjustments or batch)... I settled on Navy-strength gin for the base spirit. Yum.

Gin is mentioned among ingredients while the review says «laced with vodka»...
So I've tried both ! And though I am a convinced gin lover, I like vodka better in this case.
