How to Make Orange Lemon Liqueur
- In a large, airtight bottle or container, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup vodka or other neutral spirit (such as grain alcohol), and 1 cup rosé wine. Stir gently to combine.
- Shake the container a few times throughout the day to help the sugar dissolve completely.
- On the following day, thoroughly wash and scrub 2 large oranges and 2 large lemons under running water.
- Cut the oranges and lemons into small pieces (about 1/4 inch). Add the fruit pieces and 1 cinnamon stick to the alcohol mixture.
- Securely close the bottle or container with an airtight lid.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for 6 weeks, shaking it gently every few days to ensure proper infusion.
- After 6 weeks, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Discard the solids.
- Carefully funnel the strained liqueur into attractive bottles or containers.
- Serve chilled over ice, or enjoy it neat.
- For best results, allow the liqueur to age for an additional 2-4 weeks before serving for a smoother taste.
