HOMEMADE DRAMBUIE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a tightly covered container.
• Shake several times for the first 24 hours.
• After 24 hours, remove lemon zest.
• Cover and let stand for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place shaking gently every other day.

DRAMBUIE ORANGES

Steps:

• Slice the top and the bottom off each orange and sit each one on a board.
• Cut away the outer skin so that there is no white pith left behind and then slice each orange across into thin slices.
• Place the orange slices in a shallow dish with the Drambuie, and then cover and leave to chill in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours, during which time the juice from the oranges will develop a wonderful tasting sauce with the Drambuie.
• Arrange on serving plates and serve while the slices are still chilled.

DRAMBUIE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add 100mml of drambuie to a hot saucepan, bring it to the boil and allow it to reduce by half.
• Reduce the heat then stir in 150ml of double cream and season with salt & pepper. If you want a slightly sweeter sauce add 2-3tsp of clear Scottish honey at this point. Allow this mixture to reduce by half to a nice thick consistency.
• Once reduced, take the sauce of the heat and serve it over the haggis.
