Hi Guys,
I have tried making draft spirits on tap
First time i made my own cola using cottees cordial in the keg, tasted like home brand cola which i dont mind for mixers, and simple used as cola on tap.
Second time i added 65% UJSM directly to the cordial mix diluted to approx 8%.
I did notice overtime that the first half of the keg tasted stronger than the second half of the keg.
I havent done any research into chemistry, however from my experience i would suggest the alcohol component doesn't carbonate, so sits at the bottom of the corny and gets sucked out first.
For me i wouldn't do it again as i think having mixed cola is more versatile for different drinks and beneficial for non drinkers visiting (kids/preggos)
My advise is you would likely need to top up with spirits say half way, however being carbonated i think you would lose the ability to measure the alcohol in the mix? would rely on mix to taste, much more likely to make stronger than anticipated drinks
