How to Make 44 Cordial

  1. Using a small, sharp knife or skewer, carefully poke 44 1-inch-deep slits all over the surface of the orange.
  2. Insert one coffee bean into each slit.
  3. In a wide-mouthed jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the prepared orange, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 750ml of dark rum.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Gently swirl the jar once or twice a week for 44 days.
  5. After 44 days, remove the orange from the jar and discard.
  6. Line a fine-mesh strainer or sieve with cheesecloth. Carefully pour the liqueur through the strainer into a clean bottle.
  7. Store the finished liqueur in the refrigerator or freezer. Serve chilled, neat, or over ice.
