Making your own booze

I have been a very active maker of flavored Brandies. Yeah Blackberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Apple, grape, Cherry, Peach, Apple Pie, Apple Raspberry, Mixed Berry and many more. I was told how to do this about 5 years ago and have made many many many gallons of the stuff. I, myself do not drink much of it. I do like the Apple Pie myself. That is the only one I do sample once in awhile. You can go on the internet and get recipes for how to make it, but I have tweeked mine so it is better than some that others around here make. If you would like to find out how to make it you can go to my website at www.downhome-cooking.com and e-mail through there.
I am putting out a recipe for Irish Cream here for you. I know St. Paddy's Day is long gone but Irish Cream is good anytime.


Irish Cream
1 cup Whiskey
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. coconut extract
1 1/2 tbsp. chocolate syrup
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
Blend in blender 1 minute. Keeps in fridge up to 5 weeks

Try putting some butterscotch Schnapps (1 1/2 shots to 2 shots) over ice and add Irish Cream, this is a very good drink for warm lazy afternoons. ENJOY!!!!!!
