Homemade Butterscotch Schnapps

By EricS52

I've started thinking about making homemade goodies for the holidays and I searched this site for a butterscotch schnapps recipe and didn't find one. I found this elsewhere on the web, from a cookbook called Cordials From Your Kitchen. Gonna start a batch tomorrow! (Had to guess on the servings and cook time)

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brandy
• 1 cup 100% proof vodka
• 1 1/2 teaspoons concentrated butterscotch extract
• 10 drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1 Boil sugar and water together, cool.
2 Pour into 1-qt container and add brandy, vodka, flavoring and food-coloring.
3 Cover and shake vigorously to blend.
4 Let stand in a cool, dark place for 1 month before serving.
