    I can only say... Bravo. My suggestion: Your recipe is perfect, but I add a vanilla bean right at the beginning of the preparation.

    Let's be clear. This is my favorite drink. My suggestion: Strain everything and do not press the orange. No need to put the coffee in the orange, just in the jar. It's not a liter of spirits, but in a one-liter jar and topped up with spirits (> 1L). Use "real" well-aged spirits (found in a cellar).

    Very good Very good recipe. My suggestion: But I add a whole vanilla bean and 2 or 3 cloves to the orange... Good.

    Thank you I stumbled upon your recipe and I had, like the previous readers, used fruit alcohol. It must also be good with brandy when you have a small supplier. A very appreciated drink. It's time for me to get started for Christmas.

    I confirm it's very good. Since I have extra jars, I'm going to try this recipe. My suggestion: Personally, I make it with fruit alcohol and I add 2 or 3 cloves into the orange. Always enjoy in moderation.
