Saurian Brandy Recipe - How to make a Saurian Brandy
Ingredients for a Saurian Brandy
Orange
Vodka
Sugar
Maple Syrup
Quantities for one drink:
1/4 Cup Grated Orange Rind
1 Pint 100 Proof Vodka
1 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup Grade "A" Maple Syrup
Blending Instructions:
Put orange rind in a half-pint jar with 1/4 cup vodka
Seal it and shake occasionally
Let it steep overnight
-- Pour sugar and 1 2/3 cups vodka into a 28 ounce bottle
Seal it and shake until all the sugar is dissolved, then add the maple syrup
-- Filter the orange extract through a fine handkerchief or coffee filter until it becomes clear
-- Add a tablespoon of the final extract to the vodka syrup mixture and mix well
If your orange peels are much more or less aromatic than average, adjust the quantity so that you have enough to hide the maple flavor, without having enough to make the liqueur bitter or recognizably orange flavored
