CARA CARA CITRUS LIQUEUR



Cara Cara Citrus Liqueur image

This homemade liqueur is the perfect addition to many a beachy cocktail, served in frosty glasses and sipped on a porch at sunset. The margarita, the Cosmopolitan and the ever-dangerous Lemon Drop are all made more refreshing by its bright citrus flavor. Given all the types of citrus available, and the simplicity of this recipe, it's worth experimenting. The recipe here provides the essentials (ratios and techniques) with permission to make the infusion your own.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 to 10 Cara Cara oranges
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
4 cups vodka

Steps:

  • Sterilize 2 glass quart jars, with lids, by running them through the dishwasher or immersing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. With a vegetable peeler, remove the peel, not the pith, from 4 or 5 oranges. Place 1 1/2 ounces of peel into each quart jar.
  • Juice all the oranges to yield about 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Press the juice through a fine strainer to remove pulp and seeds. You should have about 1 cup.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil. Add the juice to the sugar syrup in a steady stream, stirring continually. Bring the flavored syrup back to a boil, then pour half into each jar.
  • Allow the mixture to cool completely, then pour 2 cups of vodka into each jar. Shake the jars well, then tuck them into the back corner of a closet. After one month, strain the liquid. Pour the citrus liqueur into decorative bottles with caps or corks. It will be ready to drink, but will become even more flavorful after another month.
