Beverage and Liqueur Recipes

Creamsicle Liqueur

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatine
1/4 cup cold water
14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups 80 proof vodka
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange extract

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatine over water and let soften for several minutes. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until gelatine dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk and cream. Heat until quite warm ( about 110 degrees F.) for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the gelatine mixture. Remove from heat and stir in vodka, vanilla extract and orange extract.

Pour into a sterilized bottle and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days before using. Shake well before serving in liqueur or cordial glasses. This mixture will keep in the refrigerator for a month or longer.

NOTE: This liqueur gets thick. Use wide mouth jars or bottles so that it can be spooned out if necessary.
