Cream Liquer Recipe
Some cordials taste particularly nice as a cream liquer such as Amaretto, Hazelnut, Itish Cream and  Peach Schnapps.
Making your own cream liqueurs is not only more economical, but by using fresh ingredients, they taste better, are smoother and creamier. They also don’t contain emulsifiers, thickening agents or preservatives. By making your own. You also are not limited by what is on the market – you can invent your own recipes!
 
Almost any cordial extract can be made into a cream liqueur. Use the commercial ones as basic guidelines, but feel free to experiment – you will then be able to have your own “special” cordials.
