There are many ways to make liqueurs but this time I made the mandarin liqueur using the whole fruit. At this point if you do not want to make the candied mandarin peels, you extract the juice and just cook the syrup for ten minutes. You then mix the syrup with the leftover alcohol).

Bring to a boil again, lower heat and boil for 5 more minutes. Leave it on the ceramic stove until it cools. Boil again for a few more times until the peels are soft. I filled a big glass jar with mandarins, poked them and then poured the alcohol on top to cover them. I stored it in the cupboard and let them steep in the alcohol, for 18 days. The more you leave them, the better. If I was not in a hurry to finish the drink, I may have left it more but the result shows that they were more than enough.Add the alcohol, close tightly with the lid and place the jar in a cupboard and let them steep for 18 – 30 days. As I said in my previous posts for Mandarin Marlaladeand Mandarin Cake,we do have a lot of mandarins, so I made a lot of recipes. I also made this Mandarincello, which is a Mandarin Liqueur.

However you serve it, you can enjoy Absolut Vodka in the knowledge that this premium spirit is produced sustainably by master distillers. Made with winter wheat and pristine water sourced from the same small village of Åhus, Sweden, Absolut pride themselves on carbon neutral distillation and implementing low waste farming initiatives in their close-knit community. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. I go with Grand Marnier because it’s a great liqueur…and oh yes, it contains Cognac which is equally greatAs nothinggoeswasted in my kitchen, I thought of a way to make good use of them, so I made these delicious and addictive mandarin candied peels, which have a mild, boozy aftertaste. The fruit is versatile and can be used in a variety of drinks, including martinis, margaritas, and daiquiris. Its bright and citrusy flavor pairs well with a range of spirits, such as vodka, gin, and rum. The clear vodka will eventually take on a golden orange hue. Taste the vodka from time to time to judge the flavour but remember that there’s no sugar in it so it won’t taste like the flavoured vodkas at the shop yet. Absolut vodka was established in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith and is produced in Ahus Sweden but owned by the Pernod-Ricard Group who bough Absolut in 2008 for 5.63billion Euros. Absolut vodka goes through a unique distillation process known as fractional distillation which produces Vodka without fusel alcohol, which can cause off flavours to vodka and is sometimes described as being 'spicy' or 'hot', not what you want from a smooth vodka.

Fresh mandarin oranges that have been freshly squeezed. This recipe calls for 3 ounces of fresh juice so that’s around 2 mandarin oranges (you should be able to get 1.5 oz. of juice per orange).Put the mandarin juice, mandarin peels, sugar, water and cinnamon and bring to a boil. When it begins to create froth, turn off the heat before it overflows. Leave it on the ceramic stove until it cools*. I love Tito’s vodka but will use Monopolowa Vodka when we don’t have any on hand. I do use Tito’s to make most of my vodka-based drinks.
