Testing Alcohol Percentages Once Soaked

Grasshopper

There might already be a thread on this one but I can’t find it.

When making a fruit infused gin (sloe gin or the like) with added sugars etc, is there any special way to measure the percentage of alcohol?

Of course we know the percentage of the soak but not sure how much may be lost (absorbed into the discarded fruit) and we can’t simply test with an hydrometer once sugars are present.

Unsensibel

You have to distill a sample until dry to remove all solids

you do not have to do until dry... here are great proofing videos from the TTB:
