Homemade Peach Liqueur
The peach liqueur is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed straight or used in a variety of cocktails. While there are many options at the store, making homemade peach liqueur is a fun and rewarding process.
To make peach liqueur at home, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Fresh peaches, vodka, sugar, and water. The key is to use ripe peaches with a rich flavor and adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Start by washing and pitting the peaches, then finely chopping. Place the peaches in a large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and pour in the vodka. Once the mixture has been stirred to combine, seal the jar and place it in a cool, dark place for at least a week. During this time, the vodka will absorb the peach flavor and aroma.
After a week, strain the peach-vodka mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, squeezing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. The resulting liquid is a beautiful pale orange color with a sweet, fruity aroma.
Next, make a simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Place the mixture over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before adding it to the peach vodka.
Pour the peach vodka and simple syrup into a clean jar or bottle, seal the container, and shake well to mix the flavors. Let the peach liqueur sit for at least a day before using it to allow the flavors to develop.
Our homemade peach liqueur is best served cold or with ice. It can also be used to make various cocktails such as B. Peach Bellini or Peach Margarita. You can also add other flavors such as herbs and spices to create your own version of peach liqueur.

• 1 cinnamon stick
• 480 ml (2 cups) vodka (100 proof is preferred)
• 240 ml (1 cup) brandy

- You can adjust the sweetness of the liqueur by adding more or less sugar syrup to the peach-infused vodka.
