Best Liqueur Base Recipes
HOMEMADE LIQUORS
This is an excellent base for homemade liquors. Substitute chocolate, coconut, or any flavoring desired for vanilla extract and you will have made a different flavor alcohol. Food coloring can also be added to the cooled mixture to add a bit of pizzazz to your alcohol drinks! Perfect for warming up parties during the winter holidays.

LIQUEUR BASE
I have not tried this liqueur base. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this in Complete Book Of Small Batch Preserving. Pair one of these easily made liqueurs with freshly brewed coffee for a luxurious finish to a good meal. Both have an alcohol content of approximately 15% so they will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Use one half of the base for each liqueur recipe.
