Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large glass jar, combine the neutral grain spirit with the split vanilla beans, citrus zest, and cinnamon sticks. Seal the jar tightly.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Mixture

    Let the mixture infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help distribute the flavors.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Add Sweetness

    After 2 weeks, strain the infused spirit through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solid ingredients. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the strained liquid with honey and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add Herbs

    Add the thyme and rosemary to the saucepan and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes to impart their flavors. Remove from heat and let cool.

Finalizing

  1. 5

    Bottle the Licor 43

    Once the mixture is cooled, pour it into clean bottles using a funnel. Seal the bottles tightly and store them in a cool, dark place.

  2. 6

    Optional Flavor Enhancements

    For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding star anise and cloves during the infusion stage. Strain them out along with the other solids before bottling.
