My house-mates do not appreciate good wine or good beer (to a lesser extent). I've made a number of different brewed concoctions that they wouldn't drink. They thought the apfelwein I made was too dry, though I liked the dryness. They do like mixed drinks, however. So I was thinking of what I could make that they would like. It would have to be sweet or they won't touch it. I had an interesting idea that may or may not work: ferment water and 4 or 5 cups of sugar in a gallon jug, then add apple juice concentrate in secondary. The theory is that it would end up tasting like alcoholic apple juice because the alcohol content would be too high for the yeast to continue fermenting by the time the apple juice was added. The high residual sugar content would hopefully mask any rocket-fuel quality that might be present. What do you think of that solution? Do you know of any other beverage I could make that might appeal to these philistines?
