Milk and Booze! How To Make Sweet Milk Liqueur

Say hello to the newest addition to our liquor cabinet! This rather improbable combination of vodka and milk makes a liqueur so smooth and perfectly sweet that you'll want to sip it straight. Get the recipe, our review, and some ideas for using this sweet liqueur below. We love the idea of making our own liqueurs, and we've been wanting to try this milk liqueur ever since we saw it in David Leite's most recent book The New Portuguese Table. Simply made by mixing vodka or grappa with an equal amount of milk and sugar, it just seemed so unusual and fascinating. The hardest part about this liqueur is waiting for it to infuse. But strained a few times to catch all those milk solids, the resulting liqueur is perfectly clear with a lovely sunshine yellow hue.

This is definitely a winner in our book. S'moretini Shooters. Me again.

But don’t blame me. Don’t mind my fingerprints. I also like my marshmallows charred. I roast them ’til they’re flaming. The good news is that this world seriously CANNOT come up with another vodka flavor that I will have to run out and immediately purchase. SMN_NEW_DandelionWineMAY10.gif (1288×754) Great Scot!

Great Scot! It's whisky in a can ... eight shots for $5 to be sold in the United States

The company hopes to have the product on shelves in major American markets by February 1, retailing for $5 a can. Potent: Each can will contain about eight shots of 80-proof scotch whisky Unlike bottles, cans cannot be closed after they have been opened. Critics have argued that eight shots of a beverage with the same alcohol content as venerable scotches including Johnnie Walker Blue and The Glenlivet 12 is too many to be sold in a container that can't be resealed.
