It is completely legal for you to produce liqueurs using the processes of infusion and blending, but illegal to involve or use the process of distillation without proper permits and licenses.

Alcohol bases used to make your liqueurs, 190° proof grain alcohol, vodka,
brandy, etc., must be purchased legally. Alcohol can be transported between states, even if it is not sold or is illegal in your state. Check with your state liquor board for quantity limits.

It is illegal to sell or offer your home-made liqueurs for sale. However, it is
perfectly legal to produce liqueurs for you and your friends’ personal consumption. They make great gifts!

Whatever you do, do not get money involved in the consumption or distributionof the liqueurs!

If a name has a ™ or ® beside it, that means it is a trademark or
registered trademark, respectively, and is considered proprietary information of that company. The name should not be used to label your home-made liqueurs.
