How to Make Orange Coffee Liqueur
- Thoroughly wash and dry one large orange.
- Using a paring knife, prick the orange skin all over with the sharp end.
- Gently insert 44 whole coffee beans into the pricked orange.
- Place the orange inside a 1.5-quart canning jar.
- Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1.5 cups (355ml) vodka to the jar.
- Securely close the jar lid, ensuring it's airtight.
- Invert the jar.
- Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark, and dry location, away from direct heat and moisture.
- Shake the jar daily for the first week to ensure the sugar fully dissolves.
- Allow the mixture to infuse for 44 days, or until the vodka turns a pale, lovely orange color and develops a strong coffee-orange fragrance.
- After 44 days, remove the orange and coffee beans from the jar.
- Carefully strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass bottle or decanter.
- Serve in small liqueur glasses at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- Optionally, add to white wine.
- Enjoy as an after-dinner drink, or pair with winter fruit or fruit compotes.
