Two Liqueurs To Enjoy

[donna]

It is cold out for many. It is time to enjoy some beverages to help in Winter.

Creamsicle Liqueur

The orange and vanilla flavors of this old drink are rich and go a long way.

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

In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let soften. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally. Let gelatin dissolve. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a saucepan, combine condensed milk and cream. Heat until warm. Stir in gelatin mixture. Remove from heat and stir in vodka, vanilla and orange extract.

Pour into sterilized bottle and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days before using. Shake before serving in liqueur glasses.

One vote for the Creamsicle. Bet it would be great over Vanilla ice cream
