Homemade orange liqueur

You can create orange liqueur at home at any time, because citrus fruits are sold all year round.
The result is a natural alcohol with the appropriate smell of fruit and a mild taste. The recipe will not cause any difficulties even for beginners. Choose the most fragrant oranges without blackened parts, rottenness and mold on the skin, the properties of the drink depend on this. Alcohol and vodka can be replaced with well-purified moonshine or cognac (tannic notes will appear).

Ingredients:

oranges – 8 pieces;
vodka (alcohol diluted to 40-45%, moonshine) – 1 liter;
water – 1 liter;
sugar – 1 kg.

Instead of sugar, you can use 600 grams of watery flower honey, but the taste will be different, not for everyone.

Orange liqueur recipe

1. Scald the oranges with boiling water, then wash them in warm running water to remove wax or other preservative from the skin, which is applied to citrus fruits to increase shelf life. Wipe the fruits with a dry cloth.

2. Using a grater, vegetable peeler, or knife, carefully remove the zest (yellowish part) from the oranges. Peeled fruits are not necessary and can be used for other purposes.

Attention! It is not allowed to touch the snow-white pulp, otherwise the liqueur will taste bitter.

3. Place the zest in a jar or glass bottle, pour in an alcoholic base (vodka, alcohol), and close the lid tightly. Infuse in a warm (room temperature), dark place for 14 days. Shake once every 2 days.

4. Mix water and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring and skimming off the snow-white foam. Cool the syrup to room temperature, then pour into the orange infusion. Close tightly. Leave for another 7 days. Shake 2 times a day.

If honey is used instead of sugar to preserve beneficial substances, after mixing with water, heat to 35-40°C, stir until the honey is completely dissolved, skimming off the foam, then cool.

5. Strain the finished orange liqueur through cheesecloth and squeeze out the zest. Then filter through cotton wool or a coffee filter.

6. Pour the drink into bottles for storage and close the caps tightly.

When kept away from direct sunlight, the shelf life of homemade orange liqueur is up to 5 years. Strength – 23-26 degrees. The taste of the drink is not much different from similar store-bought ones, for example, Cointreau.

Tips before the start

The main thing is that the fruit must be ripe, fragrant and without signs of spoilage on the skin.

Before removing the zest, the fruits must first be scalded with boiling water, then washed under running water, and then wiped dry. This is necessary to remove wax or similar external preservatives.

When removing the zest, under no circumstances should you touch the snow-white subcortex, otherwise the drink you prepare will be extremely bitter.

Glycerin, in the recipes below, has one very important feature that is skillfully used by alcohol producers - it helps thicken the water, especially when cooling. In addition, it gives alcohol a pleasant taste and smell. The use of this supplement is not necessary.

In the vast majority of cases, excellent vodka or food grade alcohol diluted to a strength of 45-50 degrees is suitable for making the drink we are interested in.
