Looks like it may be a well guarded secret. I am fortunate enough to have a recipe for drambuie that afriend spent more than ten years perfecting - it tastes exactly like the real stuff.

Drambue 750ml whiskey (not a cheapie) 750 ml Monatana Muscat Sherry 15ml tincture of capsicum (chemist will sell it and watch you don't get any on your hands) Mixed herbs (1pkt) and a bay leaf 1lb Molesworth Honey Combine whiskey and sherry then add the tincture of capsicum. Dip the herbs quickly into this. Heat the honey till runny and add to the spirits and voila you have 1.5ltres of Drambue. Enjoy.

Curacau 1c water 2c sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 whole clove 2c vodka 4 tsp orange essence orange food colouring (if you want is to look pretty) Combine 1st four ingredients in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 mins. Cool and strain. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bottle in sterilised jars. Keep 2 weeks before using.

Rumtoff - very nice for the winter months Pour a litre of rum into a lidded bucket. Add fresh fruit as it ripens (cherries, strawberries, apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines) throughout the summer. Add weight for weight in sugar and stir. Keep adding fruit/sugar throughout the season. Top up with more rum if needed. Leave for 3 months before imbibing. Note, this makes a fruity liqueur with quite a kick. Don't waste the fruit its divine over icecream, with custard etc, etc.
