Liquor stores offer a large selection of liqueurs, but they are unlikely to be compared to homemade drinks. Making liquor at home is not difficult if you know the recipe and buy all the ingredients.
Liqueur is an alcohol of medium strength with a pleasant taste and delicate aroma. This drink is replaced by syrups, it is used as the basis of tonic drinks and cocktails. Liqueurs go well with gin, brandy, vodka and whiskey, they are drunk with ice. This alcoholic drink is usually consumed after dinner, it is served with coffee and tea.
Liqueur is prepared not by fermentation, but by blending - mixing products in certain proportions. For the manufacture of the drink, fruits, coffee, dried plants, fresh berries, herbs, dyes, syrups, etc. are used. Spices give a unique taste: cinnamon sticks, cloves, red pepper, cardamom, coffee beans.
To make liqueur from a noble strong drink, you will need 40 g of vanilla sugar, 16 yolks, 0.4 kg of sugar and 1 liter of brandy.
Pour sugar into the yolks, including vanilla, grind the products, then gently pour in the cognac and mix. We hold the liquor for 4 weeks.
This requires 750 g of sugar, 5 oranges, 1 liter of vodka, 1 cinnamon stick. Squeeze juice from each orange, add sugar, orange peels, vodka and cinnamon. Pour the liquid into a jar, leave for 45 days, filter.
