For those of us that fancy an adult beverage from time to time, finding local brews, wines, and spirits is as much a part of a local diet as hitting the farmers' market. But thanks to Sloshspot's List of 13 Alcoholic Beverages That You Can Make at Home, your choices just expanded significantly.

While some of the drinks didn't really interest me i.e. moonshine and pulque, some of the ideas were pretty fabulous like hard apple cider, gin, mead, chocolate liquor, and sambuca. After all people were getting "sloshed" long before there were huge manufacturing plants to make the booze for them.

One of my favorite beverages that you can make at home is Irish Cream. As the weather gets a bit cooler maybe you want to add a bit of kick to your coffee. Drink it fast though because without preservatives it only lasts for 30 days.
