Homemade: Lime Liqueur #1

Homemade Lime Liqueur

Anyone who has a drink with me will soon learn that I love lime. I love lime anything really, limes, lime juice, key lime pie, lime candy and any drinks that go well with lime in them. When I was looking through some various recipes for Liqueur, I saw the word lime and knew exactly what I was making next.

I proceeded to browse through the various recipes Gunther Anderson has collected and I found a nice one. I reformatted the recipe so it is a bit easier to read and added in my own directions below.

Homemade: Pineapple Liqueur #1

Homemade Pineapple Liqueur

Almost everyone who drinks has enjoyed a Pina Colada. You can't deny the deliciousness of a good Pina Colada or that pineapple is a key part of the flavor. Though shame on you if you have never tried a Pineapple liqueur! What better way is there to enjoy pure pineapple flavor with a nice alcohol bite and plenty of sweet?

I found a simple pineapple liqueur recipe on Gunther Anderson's liqueur site and tried my hand.

Homemade Pinapple Liqueur Recipe

  • 2 cups pineapple
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups vodka
  • 1/2 cup sugar syrup

"Steep 1 week, strain/squeeze and filter, add syrup, age 1 month.

Notes: Sharp - more sugar? Another recipe calls for rum, which might be smoother."

As you can see; quite simple. I didn't deviate from this recipe at all and the produce that resulted is mighty fine.

You might wonder if you can use canned pineapple or do you need fresh?
