Orange Coffee Liqueur Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and dry the orange thoroughly.
• Using the sharp end of a paring knife, prick the skin of the orange all over.
• Insert the 44 coffee beans into the orange.
• Place the orange in a 1 1/2 quart canning jar.
• Add the sugar cubes and vodka.
• Close the lid making sure the cover is tight.
• Turn the jar upside down.
• Shake for at least a minute or two to help dissolve the sugar.
• Store in a cool, dry spot away from the heat and moisture of a kitchen.
• Each day, shake the jar until the sugar is totally dissolved.
• Allow to set for the entire 44 days until the vodka turns to a pale lovely orange color and has a coffee-orange fragrance.
• To use, remove the orange and coffee beans. Strain the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve into pretty clear bottles or a clear glass decanter.
• Serve in small liqueur glasses at room temperature or slightly chilled. You can also add it to white wine. Makes a nice accompaniment to winter fruit or fruit compotes or alone as an after-dinner drink.

Steps:

• Combine coffee liqueur and vodka in a coffee glass. Top off with coffee, float heavy cream on top, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Stud the strip of orange peel with whole cloves, 2 inches apart. In a copper saucepan, place the orange peel, cinnamon sticks, and both liqueurs. Warm them, then stick the end of the orange peel with a fork and hold it up over the pan. Light the liqueur on fire, then using a small ladle, pour the liqueur over the orange peel starting at the top. Let the liqueur drizzle down, spiraling down into the pan. Continue ladling for a few minutes. Douse the flame with a little coffee. Place the orange peel and cinnamon sticks on a side plate. Divide the liquid into 2 glasses, then top them off with more coffee. Garnish with whipped cream and the reserved cinnamon sticks.

Steps:

• Combine coffee, orange liqueur, Irish cream liqueur and ice cubes into a shaker. Shake vigorously. Strain contents into glasses filled with ice. Garnish each with an orange peel.

Steps:

• Wash the oranges well with soap and water.
• Pare very thinly the bright-colored rind from the oranges (no white).
• Blot the peel on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
• Put the peel in a 4 cup screw-top jar.
• Add 2 cups vodka.
• Close jar.
• Store in a cool, dark place for 2 days or until the vodka has absorbed the flavor.
• Remove the peel and add the remaining vodka, along with the superfine sugar.
• Close the jar and store in a cool dark place at least 1 month to age.

Steps:

• Mix all together.
• For 1 cup coffee, place 2 rounded teaspoons in a cup and fill with hot water.

Steps:

• In a big bottle or container that has a tight lid, mix the sugar, the alcohol and the rosé wine. Shake it a couple of times during the day to dissolve the sugar.
• The next day, wash and brush the fruits. Cut them in small pieces (with the skin) and add them to the alcohol with the cinnamon stick. Close tightly your bottle or container.
• Leave this bottle in a cool place for 6 weeks, shaking it from time to time.
• Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or coffee filter. Carefully pour in a nice bottle.
• Serve this over ice.
