Pin It
skin of 3 large oranges
500 ml grain alcohol (96% ethanol)
450 g sugar
450 ml water
Remove the skins from oranges very thinly. Dice them and put in a bottle with alcohol. Wrap the bottle with aluminum foil and keep in a dark place for 6 days.
On the 7th day, boil water, reduce the heat on low, add sugar and cook until it melts completely. Let cool, then strain alcohol in it. Stir, pour in a clean bottle, wrap in a foil again and keep in a dark place for another 2 days.
Makes a little more than 1 l of liqueur.
This recipe can be used for making any citrus fruit liqueur.

Moram komentirati kako si odlično uhvatila igru sjena i svijetla na fotkama. Sjene uglavnom pokvare fotku ali na ovim tvojim su tako dobro iskorištene, totalno zamišljam osunčani vrt i hladovinu kakve voćke dok ih gledam.Sigurna sam da je i liker fin! ;)

@Andrea – Hvala!
Liker je tatin recept, i on ga najcesce pravi od 5 limuna. Prilicno je jak ako se pije sam, ja sam ga pravila jer je sastojak mnogih recepata koje bih da pravim, a nikad ga nemam kuci. U sledecem postu cu objaviti recept za kremasti limuncino iz S&P koji je stvarno fantastican

I sure like to try this out! Thank you for sharing such interesting recipe and lovely photos too. I have to look for the high percentage alcohol content though :-)

Is vodka a good enough grain alcohol? I'm not sure what this kind of alcohol is or where to find it. I tried doing search online but maybe I will just have to see if others have a recipe like yours. It looks wonderful by the way!

the liqueur looks great. i'm not a big fan of alcoholic drinks, but i always like to have a sip of orange or cherry liqueur

@mamma3monkeys – Vodka usually has 40% of alcohol. Try soaking orange peel in vodka, then after 6 days strain and put sugar in it. I am not sure how long will it take sugar to melt, but I hope it will work fine.

Ja sam trenutno u "procesu proizvodnje" likera od naranče: kora se moči u alkoholu, a za par dana prelazim na idući korak. Moj recept je nešto drugačiji, ali spremam i ovaj tvoj pa ću ga probati:)

Nothing beats making your own flavored liquors. Similar can be done with strawberries, raspberries, kumquats, lemons, limes, and fruit indeed!

If I used vsop brandy instead of neutral spirit, wouldn't this become curacao?
