Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Infusion

    In a large glass jar, combine the Pierre Ferrand Cognac and dried orange peel.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add the whole vanilla bean, coriander seeds, whole nutmeg, star anise, and cloves into the jar with the cognac and orange peel.

  3. 3

    Steep the Mixture

    Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to mix the ingredients.

Finalizing the Liqueur

  1. 4

    Prepare the Syrup

    After 2 weeks, prepare a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool.

  2. 5

    Strain the Infusion

    Once the steeping period is complete, strain the cognac mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.

  3. 6

    Combine Syrup and Infusion

    Mix the cooled simple syrup into the strained cognac infusion. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Storage

  1. 7

    Bottle and Store

    Transfer the finished Dry Curaçao into a clean, sterilized bottle. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place.
