Create a delightful homemade almond liqueur with this simple recipe, perfect for sipping or using in cocktails.
Combine the water, white sugar, and light brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir continuously to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth syrup.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 2 hours until it thickens slightly.
Check the consistency by dipping a spoon; the syrup should lightly coat it.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 10 minutes.
Cooling the syrup prevents the alcohol from evaporating when added.
Stir in the vodka, almond extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a clean bottle and seal tightly.
Use a funnel for easier pouring and to avoid spills.
Store the liqueur in a cool, dark place for a few days before serving.
Allowing the liqueur to rest enhances the flavor profile.
