Maple Cream Liqueur Recipes?

Post by Bee »

Any of you knuckleheads have a good recipe for Maple Cream Liqueur?

I was thinking of just following a Bailey's recipe and subbing out the sweetened condensed milk for maple syrup, but then I saw somewhere that that's what keeps it from separating. True?

Modify a recipe that uses unsweetened condensed milk.

Got the sweetness right using syrup alone, but the maple flavor is kind of weak.

Some 110 sugar shine. It has a faint rock candy flavor.

Surfing the net, it seems that a lot of the commercial offerings include a flavored spirit like rum or apple brandy. Anything that you think might be a good match would be worth experimenting with.

When I try to have a maple syrup flavor, I add the maple concentrated extract found in groceries in addition to the maple syrup.
It helps boost the maple flavors as the syrup have a weak taste, mostly just sweet.
I tried to copy the "Sortilège" liquor, which is a whisky with maple syrup made here in Quebec.
I use sometimes a small amount of maple syrup to soften my whisky instead of using glycerine. When I have heavily oaked bourbon, the maple subtle flavor adds complexity, while smoothening the byte if there is any!
It's around 20ml / liters.
