So the other week I got to taste ole Smokey's butter pecan moonshine at 17.5%. And I have to say that is some really good stuff. I got to thinking how could I make something similar to this. Now I'm not sure if this is the right sub topic to post in so forgive me if it isn't.
Ive never used pecans to flavor some liquor so I'm not sure where to begin, but I have a few litters of both UJSSM, and a few of a light kinda fruity/sweet rum. So I'm leaning towards the UJSSM, but do I just soak some pecans in for a little while?
Next issue is I've never made "sippin cream" before either. So that would be the next challenge to tackle. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
It sounds like a Baileys style recipe, but using pecan flavored spirit, so the cream part is easy.
Do some homework and post it here and we can work on it together.
Do the pecans taste roasted?
For other nuts, I have steeped the bashed nuts in liquor for a few days, then poured the steep through my gin basket into the still and run it with most of the nuts in the basket.

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
As Chris pointed out the cream is the easy part, google up the multitudes of baileys irish cream clone recipes ...or Punkins Muck recipe........any one of them will give you a basic understanding og how to do that part.
As for the Butter Pecan flavour , Id bet good money that's accomplished by using artificial flavors , regardless of what the marketing pitch says. These took about 20 seconds to find.
Another avenue that you might try is to look back through HDNB's posts .. From memory not long back he gave away a few secrets about creating cream based drinks.......he does know a little more than average about the subject.

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
So I just found out that I like pecans, so I'm not sure. I'm gonna pick up a bag a the local store and experiment. I want to try an emulate something like candied pecans.
I'm reading up on as many pecan recipes that I can find. And also planning on building a new gin basket to fit in my still.
Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
Alright so this is what I tried
Liquor part -
I took a cup of both my rum and UJSSM (separately) added 4 half's of toasted pecans, 1/4in of cinnamon stick, 1in of vanilla bean, and half table spoon of sugar in the raw. Left it for 4 days sitting. At the end the rum smelt and tasted better so that's what I used to continue to the next step.
Cream-
First I whipped 2 egg whites till it formed a shape, right before soft peaks. Next I added about half can (8oz) of eagle's sweetened and condensed milk. About 8oz of heavy cream. After mixing it all together there was no curdling. But the mixture was a bit thick and pretty strong proof wise.( Started out at 96 proof). So I then added approximately 4oz milk and 4oz water.
Findings-
The flavors are there but that strong. I thinking I should skip the sugar in the liquor, add more roasted pecans and cinnamon. There was still a bit of a bite from the liquor in the cream, but I believe this is my liquor making skills. I don't think my rum taste headys or harsh by my gf makes a face everytime I make her taste some.
I'm going to let it sit overnight taste it again and probably let it sit for about a week and see if it has mellowed out.
Ps. My rum was made approximately 10months ago and has seriously mellowed to a nice fruity/brown sugar taste.

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
i think you are on the right track. cream makes the likker taste stronger than it really is that's why most creams are in the 16-17% range (story goes on bailey's they were aiming to make it taste like 40% but with the less kick)
i've noticed less is more with flavours too, i think the cream makes anything that is not cream really stand out....and surely using sweetened condensed milk doesn't need anymore sugar. maybe try a heavy cream UHT type and see how that works for you.
Butter pecan does sound delightful!

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
Watching this closely. My Wife has been asking for this same recipe to be made.
I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.
That’s it. No more reading!

Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
Anyone done any more work with this? Their Butter Pecan Sippin Cream is my absolute favorite!!
Re: Butterpecan sippin cream
I gave it a shot with pecan liquor and punkin muck. Missed the mark on the cream stage. The pecan liquor was better by itself. Gotta figure out how to get that buttery base…
