Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Galliano Liqueur.
Step 1
Start by placing the whole cloves and chopped crystallized ginger into a small jar. Pour in enough vodka to completely cover the spices. Seal the jar tightly and let it soak for three days. This step is crucial, so resist the urge to let it steep any longer! After three days, strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and keep the infused vodka aside.
Step 2
Next, grab a gallon container and measure in the four cups of white sugar. To this, add the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, anise extract, and the vibrant yellow food coloring. Now, it’s time to pour in the vodka you set aside earlier, along with the strained infusion. Cover the container tightly and give it a good shake until the sugar is fully dissolved. This is where the magic happens!
Step 3
Once everything is mixed, let your concoction age for at least one week. The longer you let it sit, the more the flavors will meld together, creating a rich and aromatic liqueur. Patience is key here!
How to Serve
Serve chilled in a small glass or use it as a flavorful addition to cocktails. It also makes a delightful drizzle over desserts or a splash in coffee for a unique twist.
How to Store
Store your homemade Galliano in a cool, dark place. It can last for several months, but the flavors will continue to develop over time.
