Help me decide!?!
Help me decide!?
I'm going to be making my own flavored liquor for the holiday season and I need help deciding on two to make! Basically you just add fruit and sugar to the chosen liquor and let it sit for 2 weeks to 3 or 5 months (certain blends you have to refrigerate). You can either then strain the fruit resulting in flavored liquor or pour over cakes or other desserts! So, here's what I'm thinking of so far... Help me pick two!
Vodka with sugared plums
Rum with raspberries
Rum with strawberries
Rum with a whole vanilla bean and raspberries
Vodka with blackberries
Whiskey with cherries
If you have any other great ideas, feel free to suggest!
Answers:
I would go for the Vodka/Plum and Whiskey/Cherry
with the whiskey I would use a bourbon or sour wash whiskey like Jim Beam or Jack Daniels (or a non-branded equivalent) rather than a Scotch whiskey, but that's just my own personal preference.
You want to consider Pears in Brandy. as they are V V nice !
and for something different Vodka and Passion Fruit
