Around the world, orange wine has long been loved for its intoxicating flavor and delicate texture. Whether used in cocktails or savored on its own, orange wine offers a unique and delicious experience. As a professional winemaker, I’m sharing an exclusive orange wine recipe that will allow you to make great orange wine at home.
The Fascination of Orange Wine
First, let’s understand the appeal of orange wine. Orange liqueur is a sweet and aromatic spirit, usually based on fresh orange peels or rinds, with the addition of sugar and firmer spirits. This combination makes orange liqueur a versatile culinary ingredient and an extremely flavorful treat.
The Art of Orange Wine Making
Now, let’s take a closer look at how to make Orange Wine. The process requires some patience and skill, but the result will be absolutely satisfying.
Ingredients needed:
1.6 zests of fresh oranges
2.1 cup of sugar
3. 1 bottle of good quality neutral spirit (e.g. vodka)
4. A glass bottle or jar
Step 1: Preparing the Orange Peels
First, you will need to carefully peel the zest of 6 fresh oranges, trying to avoid the white part, which may have a bitter flavor. These peels should be very fresh to ensure the best flavor for your orange wine.
Step 2: Soak the Peels
Next, place the peels in a glass bottle or jar and add 1 cup of sugar. Cover the jar and let the orange peels and sugar soak together for at least 24 hours. This process helps to extract the essence of the orange peels, which gives the orange wine its full flavor.
Step 3: Add Spirits
After 24 hours, it’s time to add the spirits. Choose a good neutral spirit, such as vodka, and pour it into the jar until the orange peel is completely covered. This will help extract the aroma and flavor of the orange peel.
Step 4: Aging
Now you need to be patient. Store the jar in a cool, dry place and allow the orange liquor to age for at least a month, preferably two. This time will allow the spirit to absorb the flavors of the orange peel and become softer and more flavorful.
Step 5: Strain and Enjoy
When you feel that your orange liqueur has aged long enough, strain your orange liqueur through a filter or strainer to remove any bits of orange peel. Transfer the orange wine to a nice bottle and your homemade orange wine is done!
Conclusion
Orange liqueur is a delightful drink, and the process of making it is just as much fun. This exclusive orange liqueur recipe ensures that you will produce a quality orange liqueur that will enchant your taste buds with its flavor and aroma.
