These days, there’s so much more than Irish cream to choose from too — new, innovative flavours are inspired by comforting desserts, seasonal spices and plenty of chocolate. This salted caramel vodka is reminiscent of bourbon cream liqueurs like a caramel cream liqueur. But, we didn’t add any heavy cream or whole milk into this homemade liqueur recipe other than if there was any in the caramel candy. Salt– you can use any kind of salt, table salt is fine, but we used sea salt. (Kosher or coarse sea salt is better!) Just a pinch of sea salt adds a great salty goodness to this Salted Caramel Vodka. Make sure to shake or stir to break up and dissolve that coarse salt. Vodka– any brand will do, just a plain bottle of vodka. A nicer vodka will make a nicer caramel liqueur, though, so keep that in mind.

To make thin strings in the glass, hold the caramel about arm's length above the glass and let the caramel begin to drip. Once the stream is steady, move your glass under the stream to create a web design. It can be messy, so do it over the sink. You can also infuse your vodka for longer. I was aiming to make chocolate bitters with my cacao infusion so my maceration lasted for 6 months as opposed to 1 month. Which is crazy long and developed more of a bitter flavour to the liqueur. The vodka will keep any nasty bacteria from getting in your mix so you can leave it to infuse for however long you want. What else you can use your cacao nib vodka for? Did you enjoy making this liqueur? How difficult did you find the process? How did you drink it? I’d love to know in the comment section below. Support Smartblend?

As we noticed with the Caramel vodka, there was a white frothy bit at the top of the infusion. So we strained that out before adding the salt and storing the Salted Caramel Vodka. There may be a bit of the candy or extra bits down at the bottom of the glass, so make sure to get that out, or leave it in the bottle while straining. As far as liqueur, there is a Caramel Kahlua, but that is more of a caramel coffee liqueur, and in this case we wanted a caramel syrup-like liqueur with salty flavors. At this point, take your pan of the heat and add your salt. Stir to dissolve then pour everything into a heatproof jug.
