From Classic Liqueurs, by Cheryl Long and Heather Kibbey: Grand Orange-Cognac Liqueur. I modified it to make it a little more chef friendly. Ingredients:
1/3 cup orange zest |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 cups cognac or 2 cups brandy |
1/2 teaspoon glycerine, for texture (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place zest and sugar in a small bowl. Mash together with the back of a wooden spoon or a muddle. Continue until sugar is absorbed into zest.
2. Place in a container with a tight seal, preferably glass. Add cognac, stir and seal.
3. Allow to age in a cool, dark place 2 to 3 months. Shake monthly.
4. After initial aging, strain and filter. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cap and age 3 months more before serving.
5. Note: Seville oranges produce the authentic taste but any type of orange peel/zest may be used with good results.
