Quick and easy martini made with pineapple infused vodka that is sure to please!

A delicious lemony treat without the bite of regular limoncello. This makes great Christmas gifts!

Sweet succulent plum-flavored liqueur for great gifts, to indulge in by itself, or for plumtinis!

A drink recipe that my mom and I made up one St. Patrick's day because we were bored.

This is an excellent base for homemade liquors. Substitute chocolate, coconut, or any flavoring desired for vanilla extract and you will have made a different flavor alcohol. Food coloring can also be added to the cooled mixture to add a bit of pizzazz to your alcohol drinks! Perfect for warming up parties during the winter holidays.

This special Yuletide drink has been enjoyed by natives of the Pennsylvania coal region for over a century! Use raisins or dried currants; use 1/2 gallon of your choice of high-proof whiskey if you prefer.

This is better than the commercial Irish Cream liqueurs and is very popular with family and friends. Will store for several weeks in fridge, just serve over ice.

This spirit takes some waiting time, but if you make it during blueberry season, you can enjoy the taste of fresh berries in the dead of winter!

Lithuanian spiced honey liqueur. Serve warm as a traditional Eastern European cold remedy - a quick heat-up in the microwave works great.

These colorful vodkas are a fun addition to any bar and are an approachable alcoholic drink for anyone of age. Cherry, sour apple, and watermelon are divine. Serve chilled.

This delicious blueberry liquor is best with frozen blueberries rather than fresh due to the organic breakdown that occurs when fruit is frozen. This allows the berries to 'burst' into the vodka and please the taste-buds!

An easy recipe for homemade peppermint liqueur. It goes great with hot chocolate!

This is a sweet, very potent beverage that can be found at Lithuanian festivals and Lithuanian social clubs in Baltimore. They usually pronounce it 'VIT-a-tis'. Viryta is usually homemade by descendants of Lithuanian immigrants, using recipes that have been handed down through the generations, and is a popular commodity around the holidays. It took me years to finally get someone to teach me how to make it; most of the people around Baltimore who make it are very secretive about their family recipes! I'd probably catch an earful if she knew I posted it online!

This is a great drink to share with family and friends around the holidays.

An old favorite, this recipe is based on vodka and flavored with anise, peppermint and ginger.

Pureeing the melon before adding to the vodka is the secret to this recipe's success. The food coloring is the final touch that makes this almost indistinguishable from the name brand version.

This easy and simple recipe makes three bottles of a favorite coffee-flavored liqueur! It tastes wonderful, too. The longer it's stored, the smoother the taste.

This delicious treat can be enjoyed on its own (as a post-Thanksgiving sipper) or mixed with sparkling wine to create a cranberry cordial (a festive way to kick off the holidays). Either way, it's really easy to make! Will last up to 2 months.

Rich and yummy! This liqueur needs to be made 1 month ahead of giving or drinking! Makes great gifts when poured into separate smaller bottles and tied with ribbon!

Like Kahlua® liqueur but with an Italian kick from espresso.

Italian after-dinner drink. I use organic lemons.

This homemade liqueur is great sipped by itself, or used as a mixer in other drinks. It makes a great gift that is always well-received!
