40-day Liqueur Recipe


40-day Liqueur Recipe
This is a sort of a "secret" recipe (not anymore). Here in Potugal, I make it with Aguardente, that is the sort of Grappa, or undestilled white brandy - but I guess Vodka would do as well.

This looks perfect. I have been looking for something totally different from all the other liqueurs. Thank you for sharing. 5...Cheryl


Sounds different and delicious - thanks for the recipe! :)


This sounds terrific! We have Macedonian neighbors who make homemade liquor, distilled from their homemade wine, and I bet that would work really will. I love the combination of coffee and orange!


Hi. Is this popular in Portugal? Besides drinking, in what dishes & desserts can it be used? Is only the peel of orange used?
