Wash and pit peaches. Cut into halves or quarters.
4-6 peaches
Place peaches in a large ½ gallon glass container
Add cinnamon stick and pour sugar over peaches
½ cup sugar, 1 cinnamon stick
Pour vodka and rum over top of peaches. Add a bit more of either liquor if need to completely cover the peaches.
2 cups vodka, 2 cups dark rum
Place lid on container and rotate container to mix the sugar. If the sugar is stuck to the bottom of the jar, just rotate jar a couple of times a day until sugar is fully dissolved.
Notes
Use any sized jar you have available and for the amount of liqueur you want to make. We used a ½ gallon sized jar. A full gallon or a quart jar will also work.
The ingredient portions are suggestions. You can adjust the amount of peaches, the amount of sugar and the amount of liquor added.
We do not use top shelf liquors when making this peach liqueur. We buy the cheapest bottles we can find because the flavor really becomes the peaches.
Many liqueur recipes only have you steep the peaches for 1-2 weeks. Try your liqueur and see if it's to your liking. Strain off the peaches whenever you think your liqueur has the perfect flavor.
We have also forgotten our liqueur for several months before we've strained off the peaches. The results are still delicious!
