Various liqueur, will they keep once opened? (Orange, hazelnut)

it's time to make cheesecakes (See.. I don't need the tin foil hat!)

They keep just fine. I think my half-bottle of Benadictine is about 20
years old...

Sure. They will last for years. Just keep an eye on the corks if
they have stoppers with cork. Those may break away from the caps
after a few years.

Hmm... I've been wanting to try a liqueur flavored cheesecake. I
usually start with the New York cheesecake recipe on the Philly
cream cheese box and vary from it. If I want a chocolate cheesecake,
I just cut back a little on all the other ingredients except eggs and
pour in some melted chocolate.

If I want a raspberry chocolate cheesecake, how much raspberry
liqueur can I pour into the mix? The regular recipe calls for only a
tablespoon of vanilla, and I don't think just a tablespoon will do the
trick.

Thanks, Michael

One of the tastiest desserts I have every had was a very chocolate and
orange cheesecake. It had had bits of candied peel in it that left me
tasting orange for the rest of the evening.

No, unless handled extremely carefully with the correct high tech
equipment they will kill you or at the least constitute a bio-hazard.
As it happens, I inherited all the equipment necessary to safeguard
them, so e-mail me for my mailing address and send me all the bottles
you've opened. I will dispose of them safely. -aem

For a moment there i was wondering how to politely phrase a correction
to this obviously incorrect information. Upon reading the last sentence
however, it would seem my sense of humour has not completely atrophied
and i can only encourage any one with a similar problem to ask for my
mailing address so i may also help 'dispose' of them.

In my exprience they will keep forever. The only exception is
the liquuers made with cream, like Irish Cream. They have a limited
lifespan once they are opened and should be refrigerated as a minimum.

I picked up a bottle of "Frangelico" (Hazelnut) for chocolate
cheesecake and Grand Marnier for the orange half of a chocolate/orange
cheesecake..
Thanks for the info
(If I remember correctly the Grand Marnier has a cork.. I'll store it
on it's side to be safe.. keeping the cork wet)

Forgot about those.
They don't usually last long enough around here to spoil..... <G>

Gloria is right. Cream liquors will still last a long time but do much
better if refrigerated.
