Milk liqueur: 5 recipes at home

For milk liqueur, both regular milk and not too fatty cream are suitable. Keep in mind that milk tends to stratify in the finished liqueur due to the difference in density with alcohol. Therefore, the drink should be shaken frequently to preserve its flavor and aesthetic properties.
Also, keep in mind that milk liqueurs are not stored for a long time, so it makes sense to make them if you know for sure that you will definitely drink it within a month or two.
