Home Made Liquors
Every wondered about those flavored liquors that
are in the store. Just how are they made? Generally they are spirits
mixed with sugar and flavoring and cooked down into a tasty concoction.
You could read about the process, or you could
just try it yourself and see how it works. Here what you need to know
to create your own home made liquors.
Coconut Liquor
Needed:
½ cup vodka
½ cup sugar
¼ cup water
2 tsp coconut extract
Directions
Put sugar and water in a saucepan and turn on the
heat. When it starts boiling, lower the temperature to a simmer and
cook for 5 minutes. Take the pot off the burner and allow it to cool
down.
Once it’s at room temperature add the
coconut extract and vodka. Stir well, then pour your completed
concoction into a bottle and seal it. For best results, you should let
it sit for 2 weeks or more before serving.
Variations
To create other flavored liquors, replace the 2
tsp coconut extract with other ingredients, such as peppermint,
vanilla, chocolate, lemon, almond, raspberry, cinnamon, banana, or
strawberry extracts.
