Whisky With Citrus Fruit Liqueur Recipe
Scotch Whisky and Citrus Fruit Liqueur recipe.
This is what you will need:
- 600ml/1 pint Scotch whisky
- large orange, unwaxed
- 1 lemon, unwaxed
- 1 lime, unwaxed
- 2cm piece root ginger grated
- 225g/8oz granulated sugar
If you can’t find unwaxed citrus fruit then give ‘normal’ fruit a scrub in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Method:
- Peel the rind from the fruits making sure you only get the skin and not the bitter white pith.
- Place all of the rinds into a sterilised kilner jar.
- Juice the fruits and pour the juice, the whisky, the ginger and the sugar into the jar on top of the citrus rinds.
- Shake well, place in a dark, cool cupboard for 6 weeks.
- Shake the jar every day for the first 2 weeks until all of the sugar is dissolved.
- Wait 6 weeks, strain the liquid through a double layer of muslin to get a really clear liqueur
- Pour into a sterilised bottle and seal.
