With our pro tips, tricks, and techniques, you'll be making perfect whiskey sours in no time. Follow our cocktail recipe and impress your guests with your home bartending skills. Join us on this journey and experience the world of Milk Liqueur Whiskey Sour like never before.
If you're looking for a new and unique way to sweeten your whiskey sour, look no further than Milk Liqueur! This secret ingredient adds a rich, velvety texture and a hint of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of whiskey. And the best part? It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.
How to make your own Milk Liqueur
Start by adding 100 grams of whole milk to a jar. In another jar, mix 100 grams of vodka with 3.5 grams of 6% acid solution or filtered lemon juice. Pour the acidified vodka over the milk, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
While your milk and vodka mixture is sitting, prepare your citrus sugar. Simply add 3 grams each of lemon peel and orange peel to 100 grams of sugar. Close the container and shake to ensure the sugar coats the peels completely. Let sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, filter the milk washed vodka through a rinsed coffee filter. Measure out 150 grams of the milk washed vodka and add it to the sugar. Stir for 2 minutes and remove the peels. Repeat stirring every 20-30 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Bottle up your Milk Liqueur and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to use it in your next Whiskey Sour. To make the cocktail, simply combine 2 ounces of whiskey, 3/4 ounce of Milk Liqueur, 3/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/4 ounce of simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and enjoy the velvety smoothness of this unique and delicious twist on the classic Whiskey Sour.

I’m waiting for my liqueur to finish filtering before I get to adding it to sugar, but my yield of liquid is very low. C 50% of the original. Which isn’t enough for the amount of sugar I have already prepped. I used lactose free milk but I wouldn’t expect the volume of solids that are left. Hmmmmm

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks exactly what I did, it currently on a magnetic stirrer. (I got it super cheap at a lab sale). But in total 400ml gave me 230 ml of whey.
I just made a 750 ml bottle of this milk liqueur by using this recipe x4. After doing a bit of research myself, I read that some folks make this liqueur using brandy or grappa. Brandy sounded more interesting than vodka and it has the same ABV, so that's what I used. In addition, as you mentioned, this recipe lends itself to all kinds of flavor possibilities. Some folks add vanilla, or shaved chocolate to the milk/spirit jar and allow that to steep. I tried a split vanilla bean (and let it steep with the milk/brandy for 24 hours), and the finished product has a lovely vanilla essence which pairs well with the citrus. I bet adding additional orange peel and some shaved dark chocolate (70% maybe) would also be very nice as after dinner drink. Thank you for all of the work you put into researching how to prepare this liqueur in just 24 hours!!

A problem I always have with making liquers, is that when filtering it, whether it be through a coffee filter or paper towel, rinsed or otherwise, it still absorbs, then just stops. So after a lot of time having to refilter because giving them a light squeeze causes them to burst, I end up going through a LOT of them. So I end up losing product, time and sanity.

Question. About to try this. You say the final milk liqueur is "shelf stable". That generally means it won't degrade in a cool, dark place. Yet you also mention storing it in a refrigerator. So which is correct? If I make a large batch, how long will it last on the shelf with my spirits or in the fridge? Thank you.

Hi Matt! Let me put it that way. It should be shelf stable because of the composition of the liqueur BUT I never kept mine outside the firdge more than a couple of months. I have, in the fridge kept some samples for over a year and it was like if I had made it the day before. Also, I just like to keep it cold personally. But all that to say, theorically, if your bottle is sterelized, you should be fine keeping it in a cool dark place for as long as you want but I never made the test. Hope this helps.
