Drambuie Type Liqueur

0 July 30th, 2008

Servings: 1 Servings
Category: Liqueurs
Ingredients

  • 4 c Scotch whiskey
  • 2 c Orange honey
  • 3 1/2 tb Coriander seeds

Directions
First of all, if you can’t find orange honey, just add 1 T grated orange peel to regular honey. Combine ingredients and shake until honey is dissolved. Cover, leave to mature for at least 4 weeks. You may have to experiment a little with this recipe because the quality and flavor of the honey will vary from region to region. The batches I have made taste better than the $40. fifth you can buy at the liquor store.
