![]() (Now that I’ve been reminded, I may make it a priority again.) Somehow life happened, and I never got to it. When I first wrote this post, I was brewing up a new batch and promised to show you how to make it yourself. One of our favorites was praline liqueur. ![]() (I wrote about my experiments in the post on making limoncello.) Using the same idea, I also made limecello and mandarincello and found the best way to make them. Later, I tried making orange liqueur and a homemade limoncello. I began experimenting and first made my own coffee liqueur. You may prefer using something different. When making this peppermint liqueur, I used organic mint leaves from my own garden. I also used organic lemons from my own tree for my homemade limoncello. I chose to use organic coffee beans when making my homemade Tía María/Kahlúa. That said, even when choosing more expensive vodka, once you’ve added the sweetener, in most cases you’ll still save money over brand name liqueurs.Īdd to all of that the fact that you can choose the quality of the ingredients. For homemade liqueurs, the flavor will be changed and diluted so that it’s not as important to choose brand names. Save the more expensive vodka for mixed drinks or cocktails where you’ll better appreciate the difference. Making your own liqueurs can also save you money. What’s great about making your own is that you can make just about anything you can imagine. I was amazed by how easily I could transform a generic vodka into whatever type of liqueur that appealed to me. The book showed how to make basic liqueurs like homemade coffee liqueur and orange liqueur, mimicking Kahlúa and Cointreau. It all began a few years back when I found a pretty holiday book about how to make your own liqueurs. The holidays, though, are a bit of an exception. Other than that, most alcohol doesn’t appeal that much to us anymore. ![]() Don’t get me wrong, we do enjoy a glass or two of red wine when dining on the weekends. So, you know the vodka was good if we bought a bottle and brought it home over the mountains to Omaha.Despite the fact that we have a pretty well-stocked bar in our kitchen for entertaining guests, we actually rarely drink alcohol. We brought home their Chairlift Warmer, the Barrel Aged Gin, and Vodka. It was a fun tasting, where we even got to talk to the distiller about some of his products and try some interesting things. They also make whiskey, gin, an aged gin, vodka, and an agave spirit. It’s delightful and a new favorite around here!
