Making Liqueurs with Liquor Quik

Liqueur making is as old as civilization itself. In fact, the recipes and techniques haven't changed much since the Middle Ages. Carefully selected seeds, herbs, fruit and essential oils are macerated or distilled, and then fortified with alcohol and sweetened.

The makers of Liquor Quik (tm) have sourced the best essences from Northern Europe, where the old world style of extraction is still very much a treasured art. They then blend and bottle these natural ingredients in an old-fashioned glass collector's bottle. Note: Due to the fact that Liquor Quick (tm) does not use artificial preservatives, some ingredient separation or settling may occur. Refrigerate any unused portion of your essence. For best results, use within 6 months. Most essences have a shelf life of 5 years or longer under cool storage conditions.

Add 1 bottle of selected essence to the secondary ferment. Some suggestions include:
Mexican Coffee (to make kyber beers)

Malt Smoked Whisky (to make smoked beers)
