Homemade Drambuie... Better Than The Real One?

Drambuie costs $45 a bottle... but if you've got some cheap Scotch sitting around that nobody's drinking, add a few spices and some honey and you can make your own for a fraction of the cost.In this video I'm breaking down my homemade Drambuie recipe, how to make it sous vide, and whether it can actually compete with the real thing. Spoiler... it's pretty damn close.📌 The Recipe (500ml): 425ml blended Scotch 75–100ml 3:1 honey syrup 1 cinnamon stick 1 whole star anise Tiny piece cracked nutmeg 2–3 whole cloves ⅛ vanilla bean 1 strip orange peel 4–6 saffron threads (optional) Sous vide 135°F for 2 hours. Or cold infuse in a mason jar for 7–10 days. Strain, adjust sweetness, bottle. 🥃 Also try it in a Rusty Nail: 2oz blended Scotch ¾oz homemade Drambuie, stir, serve over ice. 👉 Homemade Benedictine (very similar!): https://youtu.be/aggwi81X-kA?si=iAnqBoG-5XAJZ5tv 👉 Full Homemade Liqueur Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8pKkBPQNVONazJob0B-bk6-5Pk6jqKKt&si=KAoRSuKeMkLeivAc 👉 Join the Home Bar Club on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/RobsHomeBar 00:00 — Is homemade Drambuie worth making? 00:16 — Choosing your Scotch 00:47 — Building the recipe 01:58 — Sous vide vs. cold infuse 02:42 — Tasting Notes 05:53 — Rusty Nail with homemade Drambuie 07:11 — Final verdict #Drambuie #HomemadeLiqueur #HomeBar #CocktailRecipes #Scotch ✅ Let’s Connect! 🔹Instagram ➡ http://instagram.com/robimx 🔹Facebook ➡ http://facebook.com/robbaldwinweb 🔹Twitter ➡ http://twitter.com/imxproductions 🔹My Website ➡ http://robertbaldwin.ca/ 🔹IMX Productions ➡ http://imxproductions.com/ 🥃 *Bar Equipment* 🍹 Bar Cart (Mine is discontinued, this one is similar) https://amzn.to/2MfPTJO Bar Mats https://amzn.to/3ar1ZaX BarFly Jigger https://amzn.to/3arrx7E Julep Strainer https://amzn.to/2Yy026T Hawthorne Strainer https://amzn.to/2NPW3QZ Fine Mesh Strainer https://amzn.to/36zewYy Boston Shaker with Glass Top https://amzn.to/2NMNWEQ Lewis Bag & Mallet https://amzn.to/3rbXzLL Long Spoon-Straws https://amzn.to/2Meplsn Moscow Mule Mugs https://amzn.to/3cufwB3 Mint Julep Cup https://amzn.to/2NVae7z Nick & Nora Glasses https://amzn.to/39ywmNj Collins/Highball Glasses https://amzn.to/36w5N9G Libbey Tiki Glass (x4) https://amzn.to/3ratBHZ Two Faced Tiki Glass https://amzn.to/3crhrXf 🎥 *Camera & Studio Gear* 📱 GoPro Hero 7 Black https://amzn.to/3alk2iE GoPro Head Strap https://amzn.to/2NW9uz2 GoPro Clamp https://amzn.to/3raYdcy MicroSD Card https://amzn.to/2MrmUCy iPhone 11 Pro https://amzn.to/3rb4Z1L Aputure Light https://amzn.to/3cw3fMo Sound Proof Tiles https://amzn.to/3tfTmsj Collapsible Green/Blue Screen https://amzn.to/3tfDlCy Blue Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3r8xAVu #RobertBaldwin #RobsHomeBar #CocktailRecipe
