44 Orange Liqueur Recipe

Step 6 Storing and Enjoying

After the 44 days are up, remove the orange and coffee beans, and strain the rest. If you used Everclear (grain alcohol), it will be much too strong to enjoy straight, so add at least one cup of water. Some may prefer a bit more water to tone it down. If you used vodka it should not be too powerful but it is really up to taste.

Put it in a new bottle and enjoy it chilled!

Could you fill me in on how it tastes? Does the coffee come through? Could it use more orange or more coffee flavor? More sugar or water? It sounds pretty delicious.

Can you leave the Orange in longer. Let's say you were going to give a jar of this as a gift and you wanted it to look pretty? So how long is too long?

If you use vodka instead of grain alcohol, that means the alcohol content is lower. I'm wondering how much longer one should allow it to steep in order to extract the full flavor of the citrus and coffee. Might be worth experimenting... by someone with more time. :)
