The assortment of liqueurs in stores is not always wide enough, in addition, a high-quality liqueur will not be cheap. Therefore, it makes sense to prepare a sweet liqueur yourself, for example, Italian strawberry liqueur - such a liqueur is a rarity in shops and even bars.
It is necessary
- - 1 kg of small strawberries;
- - 750 ml of vodka;
- - 1 lemon.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the zest from the lemon, being careful not to touch the white part of the fruit. Grate the zest or cut into small pieces. Squeeze the juice out of the lemon pulp.
Step 2
Cut each strawberry in half, put the berries in a bowl, add lemon zest and juice there. Mix everything together, cover with foil, put in a cool place (not a refrigerator, better in a pantry or on a balcony).
Step 3
The mixture should be infused for exactly one day, then pour vodka into it, cover the dishes, put it in the pantry for another day.
Step 4
Prepare containers in which you will pour the finished drink. Wine or vodka bottles will do. Just keep in mind that they must close tightly.
Step 5
Strain the liquid into another container using a sieve. Soak the unstrained pulp so that all the liquid comes out of it. Strain everything again through cheesecloth, while squeezing the cake thoroughly - the liquid should turn out as much as possible. After that, the cake can be thrown away.
Step 6
Let the strawberry liqueur sit for 20 minutes, then bottle. After a day, you can taste the Italian strawberry liqueur.
