The Connoisseur’s Guide to Making Liqueurs Vol. II

Judging by the wealth of information appearing in the press, published works and on the internet, liqueur making is definitely not a dying art. As an enthusiastic liqueur maker I consider it more an art to die for! It is not difficult to make liqueurs but can be very time consuming, especially when making the more complex varieties. Through my own research I realized that the wealth of information available can take days or weeks and sometimes longer to access and that this can make the home liqueur making business very tedious, frustrating and time consuming. In this book, the first of two on the subject, I have attempted to provide the new home liqueur maker with a consolidated, simplified description of the procedures to be followed if you want to make very good liqueurs of your own and good imitations of well known commercial brands. There are 88 recipes included in this book, all of them standardized to yield as close to 750 ml of liqueur as possible. When possible I have provided more than one option in each recipe category, some simple and “instant” and some more complicated and requiring more time to produce.
