This is a classy little beverage, Tom Collins, you can ask for it by name! This cocktail goes back to 1876 and is considered a "carbonated lemon juice and gin beverage." We're mixing G'Vine gin with lemon juice, club soda and a little simple syrup to create this mixed drink.
Garnish with an Orange Slice and a nice red cherry and you've got a perfectly decorated Tom Collins.

Top right (few bottles already there).
That alcohol is hidden well
Yeah, that's actually less light than mine probably get, I don't have any plants upstructing mine.
Well, I plan to add there
Well, I plan to add there Whiskey and Brandy bottles there, basically it won't be affected by a direct sunlight, it's in the middle of the room... There is a tree near it which stops direct sunlight as well.
Mmm, Brandy!
You'll probably be fine then, especially if it's not sitting there baking in the light. However, Brandy is also good if you warm it first. So... maybe direct sunlight before you drink it would be good? :-)
great video!
great video!
Thanks - This one was fun to do
I've been dying to try some G'vine in a cocktail, nothing better than a cocktail with 2 oz. of the beautiful gin.
Alcohol and Sunlight
I have some of my bottles of alcohol near a window and they've survived without an issue, I do suggest against this with Agave Nectar (said from experience) which starts to rise when it gets a bit hot and cause some to push out of the top and get everything sticky.
Â
Beer, especially hoppy beer is definitely not going to do well in light, the ultraviolet effects of sunlight cause it damage and you'll end up with skunky beer. Which is why most come in tinted glass (save corona but that's why the lime is needed!).
Â
I would still avoid direct sunlight for long periods of time, especially if you live in an area where the sun beats down hard and hot. This also assumes glass bottles, I'd not leave a plastic bottle of vodka in the sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
Â
In the case of alcohol I'd bet extreme temp changes would impact it more than the UV rays. I live in New Hampshire, we tend to get more humidity than powerful rays of sun so it may be different for me. I've yet to find any impact from keeping some of mine near the window.

Got a general question: Â If
Got a general question:
Â
If I put all my bottles on the shelf, will sun light affect their color or taste if they will be there for many years? Like 3-5?
