2 c Sugar (raw sugar is best, White is also fine) 1 l Vodka (the cheapest Available) 2 c Nectar (can use herb Extracts, coffee, etc.)
Heat the nectar and sugar until disolved, cool, add the vodka and
store in airtight bottles … and let it sit for a year.
I put a piece of firm fruit in the bottle also. Looks great and adds
to the flavor. I also use jackfruit, lychee, guava and other tropical
fruits growing in my (or neighbors) yard. A friend made some with
anis seeds and it it golden ambrosia!
If these fruit are not available, get a can of fruit in syrup and mix
the syrup with the vodka, adding some of the fruit. Jackfruit and
lychee are very distinctive and delicious.
(For those who like a sweeter, more syrupy liquor, use a little less
vodka or more sugar. This recipe is a little on the tart side, but
after a year on the shelf, it gets as mellow as as the best. The
sweeter ones are a real treat on vanilla Tofutti or other VLF ices.
