The rim and caramel drizzle can be done in advance; a minimum of 10 to 20 minutes is perfect. The colder the caramel is, the longer it will stay frozen while you're drinking the martini. I loved the ice cold shot but here’s another option. Pour a shot over ice and mix it with another shot of espresso or coffee. Espresso is the best and if you think that’s only possible with a pricey espresso machine I’ve got some good news for you.

First thing, Combine the vodka and caramels in a mason jar with lid (or any other container with a lid that seals well). At this point, take your pan of the heat and add your salt. Stir to dissolve then pour everything into a heatproof jug. Just leave the cacao nibs in your jar with the vodka and strain out whatever you need whenever you need it. Every couple of months you can top up the cacao nibs/vodka and constantly have a cacao infused vodka ready for anytime you may need it. With the 50-250 ratio I used, I ended up with just under 200ml of strained cacao infused vodka. Granted, I spilt a bit when I was opening the lid. However, It’s worth keeping in mind that you may end up with less due to the cacao nibs soaking up that vodka.

That caramel will start to soften and infuse into the water. After around 3 minutes the entire mixture should be one combined brown and watery mix. Salt– you can use any kind of salt, table salt is fine, but we used sea salt. (Kosher or coarse sea salt is better!) Just a pinch of sea salt adds a great salty goodness to this Salted Caramel Vodka. Make sure to shake or stir to break up and dissolve that coarse salt. Hey there, this is so great as a present! It keeps for around 6 months before it starts to lose some flavor. It will keep longer in the fridge, but ours usually doesn't last long enough to need it, and we keep it in our cupboard. We hope you try this recipe out, as well as the regular Caramel Vodka. Also try out our Strawberry Infused Campari! As stated in the method section for the cacao infusion, this process takes around 1 month to fully infuse. If you want your cacao nib infusion sooner, you can add more nibs to the recipe. Doubling the cacao nibs from 50grams to 100grams will mean you get the same product in half the time ( 2 weeks) However, because there are more cacao nibs soaking up the vodka. You may end up with less cacao infused vodka then your anticipate.There’s no story here today; nothing warm and fuzzy about how this magical potion of Salted Caramel Cream Liqueur transformed a holiday or my life. No stories about sharing it with friends and family as a holiday gift offering either. Nope. It just is what it is; one of those light-bulb moments when the confluence of this Salted Caramel Sauce met up with a bottle of vodka on my counter. You can also infuse your vodka for longer. I was aiming to make chocolate bitters with my cacao infusion so my maceration lasted for 6 months as opposed to 1 month. Which is crazy long and developed more of a bitter flavour to the liqueur. The vodka will keep any nasty bacteria from getting in your mix so you can leave it to infuse for however long you want. What else you can use your cacao nib vodka for? I had visions of something other than sugar plums dancing in my head. I actually have a bottle of Salted Caramel Vodka and I’ve enjoyed it so I wanted something different, something more akin to Bailey’s.

Did you enjoy making this liqueur? How difficult did you find the process? How did you drink it? I’d love to know in the comment section below. Support Smartblend? As we noticed with the Caramel vodka, there was a white frothy bit at the top of the infusion. So we strained that out before adding the salt and storing the Salted Caramel Vodka. There may be a bit of the candy or extra bits down at the bottom of the glass, so make sure to get that out, or leave it in the bottle while straining.

If you’re making this from the UK then these are the cacao nibs I use. And here’s the link for people reading this from the USA. First things first, to get the luxury and velvety chocolate taste to our liqueur we are going to make a cacao nib infused vodka, this will be the alcoholic part of our mix and will also give this liqueur its richness. This step means you need to allow a few weeks for the cacao to infuse. As far as liqueur, there is a Caramel Kahlua, but that is more of a caramel coffee liqueur, and in this case we wanted a caramel syrup-like liqueur with salty flavors. Vodka– any brand will do, just a plain bottle of vodka. A nicer vodka will make a nicer caramel liqueur, though, so keep that in mind.

At Hotel Chocolat, we’ve committed ourselves to a planet pledge; this means we’re constantly striving to find new and innovative ways to be greener as a company. One of the ways we’ve managed to reduce our waste is by taking cocoa shells and infusing them into our vodka for a tipple which has a distinctively malty and deep flavour profile.

Liquor Base– you can use another liquor other than vodka. A vanilla vodka would make a lovely mixture of flavors, or try some in whiskey. I think homemade caramel whiskey would be amazing in a tall glass with some ice cubes and a shot of espresso! Ramp up the caramel by pouring a caramel vodka instead of vanilla. Give it even more flavor with salted caramel moonshine. For either substitution, cut the caramel syrup in half to maintain balance. This Salted Caramel Vodka is sweet with a touch of salty, as well as a bit of a bite from the vodka and all of it combined together with the creaminess of a liqueur. We make this recipe so easy which is just infused vodka with chewy caramel candies and a touch of salt. Small amounts of coarse sea salt or Kosher salt is a perfect choice, but table salt will work, too.
