Product Information

Not only is this a lot of fun, but it also means we’ve learnt a thing or two about finding the right cacao shells to infuse our vodka with. Single-origin cacao beans have a varied flavour profile, as their overall finish depends on the conditions they’ve grown in, from the amount of sunlight the cacao tree received to the soil it’s grown in. We had been wanting to make our own caramel vodka for a while now, so we did. We made two recipes, one that is plain caramel, and this one with salt. It’s amazing just how easy this recipe is! As stated in the method section for the cacao infusion, this process takes around 1 month to fully infuse. If you want your cacao nib infusion sooner, you can add more nibs to the recipe. Doubling the cacao nibs from 50grams to 100grams will mean you get the same product in half the time ( 2 weeks) However, because there are more cacao nibs soaking up the vodka. You may end up with less cacao infused vodka then your anticipate.

Liquor Base– you can use another liquor other than vodka. A vanilla vodka would make a lovely mixture of flavors, or try some in whiskey. I think homemade caramel whiskey would be amazing in a tall glass with some ice cubes and a shot of espresso! Add ons– maybe a caramel drizzle from a squeeze bottle into a martini glass with our Butterscotch Bourbon Sauce (a darker form of caramel syrup), and this salted caramel sauce is tasty in our Butterscotch Eggnog, too! (Imagine it with the caramel vodka, too!) I had visions of something other than sugar plums dancing in my head.

There are a lot of places you can get your cacao nibs. Remember that this is what’s going to make our deep chocolatey flavour. For that, we want the best cacao nibs we can get but also at an affordable price. Shake 2 times a day for 2-3 days and taste before filtering to make sure the flavor is what you want. We hope you try this recipe out, as well as the regular Caramel Vodka. Also try out our Strawberry Infused Campari! First thing, Combine the vodka and caramels in a mason jar with lid (or any other container with a lid that seals well). At first, the sound of this might seem like quite the difficult task to pull off. But I promise you, as you read through this recipe and try it out for yourself, you will find that this chocolate and salted caramel liqueur is super easy to replicate.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. Let sit for at least 2 days - we did this a few times, and it was anywhere between 2 days to 3 days for it all to break down. Pour in your cacao nibs infused vodka along with the rest of the sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. In a small saucepan on a medium heat, pour over the 75grams of sugar and allow to caramelise. This will take 5 or so minutes. You know when your sugar has turned to caramel once its turned completely to liquid and is brown. You’re looking for a golden brown colour, to dark and your caramel will taste burnt, not dark enough and it wont taste like caramel.

Yes, there are readily available store bought Salted Caramel Vodka (Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka). Please note that this homemade version will not look like caramel vodka you can find in the store, which is usually clear. This homemade salted caramel vodka is creamier and heavier than clear vodka. I’ve never regretted buying one even if I don’t make espresso every day. I will use dried espresso in a lot of recipes but there is a time and place for both and for a drink like this, I want the real deal.This is decadent and delicious. Divine even. The three D’s. Yes, I rimmed those little glasses with caramel but it’s not necessary; sure makes a nice photo thought doesn’t it? I would suggest chilling the glasses with a short visit to the freezer; cold is good…and why making this liqueur is SO much easier than trying to combine caramel with vodka and cream. 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.
