Does anybody make up the Still Spirits or Essencia cream liqueurs?

I bought a number of the Still Spirits cream liqueurs from Ellie Claire recently.

The cost of the liqueur bases has always put me off a bit so I decided to try the alternative recipe on the bottle using and sugar.

I tried using Elmlea single cream instead and half the sugar recommended with the Carnilla Cream essence. Turned out really nice bit now interested to see how long it lasts.

Anyone else have any recommendations for substitutes for the cream and liqueur bases?

Thanks

I do a crystal Irish creamless.

That solved the problem for me

Search "cream base" on this site and you will see plenty of ideas.

And if anyone wants to try it, Elmlea is on offer in Iceland at the moment

Most supermarkets do a long life cream substitute that normally lives with the jellys & baking stuff in cartons, I can't be 100% but I thought I'd seen it was homogenised. I remember a documentary thing on Baileys that said the cream was homogenised to get a better blend with the whisky & this was why it didn't need to go in the fridge & lasted so long (also why it didn't separate), I'm not suggesting it's going to be that easy but it might be worth a look?
