The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of Alcoholic Beverage from Coconut Milk. The invention produces a pleasant and natural flavoured alcoholic beverage.

A process for preparing natural flavoured alcoholic beverage from coconut milk comprises mixing the coconut milk with rice flour, barley flour and sugar, adding water to get dilute mixture, fermenting the said mixture at room temperature in presence of yeast, seperating the clear liquid and the froth so obtained, distilling the clear liquid to get natural flavoured alcoholic coconut beverage.

The process is further described with example : Ten numbers of coconuts are taken and the coconut kernel is removed from the nuts. The kernel is grinded in a grinder adding water to get a paste.

From the paste, extraction of the coconut milk is done by adding water to get 5 liters of coconut milk from ten coconuts.

The solution used for fermentation should be sufficiently dilute.

To The 5 liters of coconut milk 2 Kg of Sugar, 250 gm of Rice flour and 250 gm Barley flour are added to make coconut milk mash.

Here the sugar, rice and barley flour are added to boost the fermentation in the presence of yeast and it also boosts the percentage of alcohol in the finished product.

Optionally Sodium bicarbonate (baking powder) 5 teaspoon is also added to the mash. It is soluble in water and is decomposed by most acids, thus the acids are neutralized.

To the mash 5 teaspoon of yeast granules added for fermentation and stored in a glass or Plastic container.

Fermentation is the slow decomposition of complex organic compounds into simple compounds.

The temperature being maintained between 25-35°C (Room temperature) The solution used for fermentation be sufficiently dilute.

During fermentation there is lot of frothing of the liquid due to the evolution of carbon dioxide, it gives the appearances as of its is boiling.

Fermentation takes about 5-7 days for completion.

After the fermentation the liquid and the froth are seperated by sucking the liquid by a plastic tube. 3 litres or liquid is availeble for distillation. The liquid is the mixture of alcohol and water.

Alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water. Alcohol boils at 172°F (78° C).

The 3 liters of liquid is distilled by simple or fractional method and yields 300 mi. pleasant and natural flavoured alcoholic beverage.

The concentration of the distilled alcohol is 80 percent (160 proof)
