I've made Kailua the most but a few other liqueurs as well. You need to have the alcohol, flavourings, and sugar.

plant lots of Dandy lions & wait till spring.

We simply start with 1/2 bottle (liter size) of vodka or brandy. Add 1 cup sugar and shake until it all dissolves. Then, fill the remaining space with blackberries or chokecherries or raspberries or dried apricots or diced fresh peaches. Keep in a cool dark place for a month. Enjoy. We have some homemade liqueurs that are over 5 years old and are still as good as when made. When the liqueur is gone, use the fruit on ice cream or pancakes.

My DW made lemon flavored liqueur years ago, for all I know some of that may still be around, it's good stuff.

I make homemade Irish Cream and Ma makes the kalhua. I don’t really do liqueurs but I could see mint being a good option

I will be trying this out. We've already got some Brandy vanilla that is good. Some fruit would kick it very well

I have successfully made Giada de Laurentis’ Limoncello many years in a row. Did not do it this year as I got rid of my tiny indoor lemon trees. Such a pain to take care of.
But I always cut the sugar in half as it was gaggingly sweet. People loved getting that for Christmas presents! I also didn’t bother to peel the lemons for when they were sitting in the vodka. I scrub them thoroughly and I after 3 years I grew organic each time.

I like vanilla in 151 rum with a hint of chocolate to inject those cheap fruitcakes with.
Just shoot them up and let them sit in a Tupperware container for a week with some dry banana chips before serving.

Cranberry sauce in Vodka is good for any chocolate cake, just use an even speed and do it slow so it won't get soggy.
