HOW TO MAKE DRAMBUIE!
a recipe by geophf from seriouseats DIY
Step 1: 1/3 cup honey.
... if the honey doesn't come out of the jar, run water continuously over it until the honey starts to flow.
Not that I had this problem ... 🙄
Narrator: He did.
Step 2: 1/2 cup filtered water.
The better the quality of water, the better the drink.
Step 3: 1 tsp ground or crushed fennel seeds.
Now, some use mortar and pestle, which is totally fine. I use my coffee grinder (after cleaning it thoroughly), which gets the same results: fennel seeds cracked open and powdery.
Step 4: 1 Tbsp fresh rosemarie leaves.
It turns out to be about one sprig's worth of leaves.
Step 5: combine ingredients and heat until integrated into a syrup, swirling continuously.
This all happens pretty quickly: 5 or so minutes.
Step 6: pour everything into your bottle, don't filter anything, you want this all to steep. Add 3/4 cup Scotch or Whiskey, ... the cheap stuff is fine for this recipe, as the herbs really make their powerful presence felt in Drambuie.
Step 7: let steep for 3 days. Then: filter. Then: drink. Can be refrigerated for up to 6 months (???).
I don't refrigerate Drambuie, and my last bottle lasted for over a year in the liquor cabinet, but you store it however you like.
The. End.
