Butterscotch Liqueur, Also known as ButterShots Submitted by: Joanna | Date Added: 21 May 2015

Ingredients

Also known as ButterShots, this liqueur is delicious by itself, but some prefer it in tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Add: 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups 100-proof vodka 1 1/2 teaspoons <a href="http://allstarextracts.com/Butterscotch-Flavor" target="_blank">All Star Extracts brand Butterscotch Extract</a>
10 drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Combine sugar and water in medium heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Lower heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly. Stir in Butterscotch extract and vodka. Pour into a clean glass bottle with tight fitting lid and store in a cool, dry place. Makes:  About 3 cups.  Can be served immediately, but the alcohol and sugar will combine and get smoother over the next 2 - 3 weeks or so.  Some people like their liqueurs a little less sweet. To compensate for the reduction in sugar, glycerine is added to give the liqueur the smoothness expected. Glycerine is a natural sugar that won’t affect the taste of your liqueur. See our recipe for <a href="http://recipes.allstarextracts.com/?p=recipe&recipe=15" target="_blank">ButterShots Light</a>.
