Adding whipped cream vodka adds a nice flavor at the end.

I have a mead going that is similar to this but instead of juice/cider, I used a Apple Pie juice that had all of the spices in it. The juice by it's self is delicious and I figured it would make a great mead. Thinking about letting it sit and age until next year.

I found this Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer at Cracker Barrel and was wondering if it could be used in a mead. The ingredients are Sparkling filtered water, unbleached cane sugar, vanilla extract, natural caramel, natural flavors, stevia rebaudiana leaf extract. As far as I'm aware it...
