Anyone else make their own liqueurs? This current batch contains elderberry flowers.

Yup. I make infusions and bitters.

Weirdest I made was a Cuban-themed bitters that had to include at least one full cigar as an ingredient on a bet. I called my blend "El Presidente". It was surprisingly good.

I make various citrus liqueurs from the excess fruit my neighbor's trees produce. Lemon, lime, tangerine, and grapefruit.

I'm also interested in trying to make a honeysuckle liqueur, since the bushes are on every roadside around here, any special considerations I need to make for working with flowers instead of fruit?

I'd remove as much stem material as possible. It's a bitch with elderberry flowers, but I imagine it would be considerably easier with honeysuckle.

>>7716167
I wouldn't mind trying something like that. I imagine a maduro cigar could add some nice flavors.

It was an interesting mix. Bitter citrus, cocoa, molasses, a bunch of other things. The cigar added an interesting bitter earthiness.

What do you use as the base, OP?

I used to make a weed infusion using Baccardi 151 and even made an infographic on it (that is probably still floating around but I don't have it anymore). I also made some wild blueberry, coffee and vanilla bean, and probably a few more liqueurs I can't remember anymore.

Too bad you can't get Everclear in Canada.

I've only done this with lime peel. Unfortunately I only had vodka at the time. What is the preferred liquor to use for this, and what are some good ingredients?

I make sloe gin every year

I use gin as the base. The liquor is up to personal preference, as are the ingredients.

>>7717256
Sure.

Do you call raspberry flowers, "raspflowers"?
