Homemade Amaretto
yields about 4 cups
For macerating:

  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup purified water
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 tsp fennel seed
  • 1 1/2 cups vodka
  • 1 1/2 cups brandy
To finish:

  • 1 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup purified water
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
In a 2-quart jar, combine the dried apricots and water. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes (up to 3 hours) to rehydrate.
Once rehydrated, add the almonds, cherries, fennel, vodka, and brandy. Tightly seal the jar, and shake thoroughly. Place in a cool, dark place for a month to macerate. Shake the jar at least once a week.
Once the mixture is done macerating, line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth, and strain out the solids over a large bowl. Wring out the cheesecloth to get as much liquid out as possible.
While the mixture is straining, heat the coconut sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has all dissolved. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
Once the mixture has finished straining through the cheesecloth, add the brandy, vodka, vanilla and almond extracts. Slowly add the sugar syrup until it is to a sweetness that suits your tastes.
Line a mesh strainer with a coffee filter, and filter the mixture once more over a large bowl, to remove any fine particles.
Transfer the liquid to a quart-sized jar (or smaller bottles), and tightly seal. Allow to sit for about 3 days before using. If you notice any sediment forming at the bottom, you can re-filter until it stays clear.
Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.


Homemade Coffee Liqueur Recipe

What You'll Need
3 cups sugar
2 cups water 1
two-inch piece of vanilla bean
8 tablespoons quality instant coffee
750-milliliter bottle (a "fifth") of rum (for a taste like Tia Maria) or vodka (for a taste like Kahlua) |
Combine the vanilla bean, sugar and water in a saucepan.
01 Boil until the volume has been cut in half, or about 30 minutes.
02 Add 8 tablespoons quality instant coffee and allow the mixture to cool.
03 In a sealable glass jar or bottle, combine the simple syrup (sugar solution) and rum or vodka. Shake well and let sit in a cool, dark area for 10 days.
04 After 10 days, strain the liqueur through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Store in a sealed liquor bottle

Yield: 10 shots


Homemade Cranberry Liqueur



What You'll Need


  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup brandy or other distilled liquor
How to Make It

1. Rinse and pick over the cranberries, discarding any shriveled berries or ones that just look icky.
2. Combine the wine and sugar in a medium pot and bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring as necessary to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the cranberries and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook just until a cranberry or two pops, which should take about 2 minutes. If none are popping open, increase the heat a bit until one does.
1. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let sit until it's cooled off completely, which will take a few hours. Feel free to let it sit overnight, if you like.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth into a large bowl. Add the brandy or other liquor. Transfer the mixture to a clean, sealable bottle or other container(s). Seal or cover and let sit at room temperature for at least three days before serving.
The liqueur will keep a good long time at room temperature – it's sugar and booze, both of which are excellent natural preservatives. Feel free to keep it in the fridge, though, if storing it at room temperature makes you nervous (or you have more space in your fridge than in your cupboard). I make big batches every late November or early December and have kept a few bottles both in the back of the fridge and on a shelf in the closet. Bottles stored in both places have been known to last perfectly well for over a year.
