Recipe: 1 - Candy Cane Vodka Recipe »
I love giving edible Christmas gifts because you put the best ingredients into them plus your time. A delicious liqueur makes a wonderful Christmas gift. Some of these need to be started 2-4 weeks early so get started now and by Christmas you'll be drinking a delicious candy cane vodka, homemade limoncello, your own version of Mr Black Espresso Liqueur, Kahlua or Baileys!
This candy cane vodka is the vodka to give when you want to give something delicious but don't have a lot of time. Steeping candy canes in vodka flavours the vodka with sweet peppermint and makes the vodka pink too within just 1-2 hours!
Kahlua is a well loved coffee liqueur but did you know it's easy to make yourself? It takes 4 ingredients and a bit of patience (about a week). Your friends will think you're amazing when you turn up with it to parties!
Mr Black is like Kahlua but more sophisticated, coffee forward and less sweet. If you love espresso martinis then you have to try making this yourself! Mr NQN thinks this version is even better than Mr Black.
We LOVE limoncello and if you've ever bought lemons that are a bit stingy on the juice don't worry, use them for their zest! This does take a bit longer to steep, around 2-4 weeks but it is worth it I promise. This limoncello recipe is an authentic Italian recipe.
Everyone loves Baileys but did you know you can easily make it at home? That way you can tailor it to the sweetness you like but also make different flavours of Baileys like chocolate, salted caramel or fruity flavours!
So tell me Dear Reader, is there a liqueur that you'd like to learn how to make? Have you ever made a liqueur yourself?
