A fragrant, beautiful liqueur with a sweet taste and memories of summer - what could be better in the cold? However, berry drinks with vodka are great to drink in the warm season, especially outdoors. Their beauty is that due to their pleasant taste and low strength, the liqueurs will appeal to both sexes. In addition, it is a natural and inexpensive alcohol. Strawberry liqueur sounds enticing! So let’s try to prepare it with our own hands, especially since several methods have been invented, you can choose according to your capabilities and needs.

Advantages of liqueur

Why is strawberry liqueur worthy of your attention?

1. This is a completely natural product made from raw materials that you have chosen yourself. There will be no artificial colors or flavors, unlike industrial analogues, the quality of which cannot be one hundred percent sure.
2. The taste of the drink is sweet, the color is interesting and rich, and the aroma has hints of strawberry.
3. The liqueur is easy to drink, it is a drink of medium strength - about 11-20 degrees (depending on various factors, but usually softer than liqueur).
4. If you do not add alcohol, moonshine or other alcohol from outside and have enough patience, you can get a naturally fermented liqueur that is softer and weaker.
5. Few ingredients are required for preparation and they are all affordable. Rare devices are also not needed.
6. Instead of strawberries, you can use strawberries, and the infusion time for the liqueur will even be reduced.

The only disadvantage of strawberry tincture is that it takes quite a long time to prepare, at least a month. However, there are ways to speed up the process, which will be discussed below.

How to make strawberry liqueur?

First way

The strawberry drink in this recipe is prepared according to the formula: liqueur = tincture + syrup. It also suggests that the process can be stopped at one stage, resulting in several different products.

1. To make a strawberry tincture, take 1 kg of berries or a little more. This is necessary in order to select the ripest and best strawberries. All leaves and stalks must be removed so as not to add unnecessary flavors to the finished drink. Rinse the strawberries well in several waters. It is also advisable to let the berries dry. Now place the strawberries in a suitable glass container and pour in 1 liter of vodka (or alcohol, moonshine). Close tightly and leave for 2 weeks to 1 month, shaking the mixture periodically and monitoring the process. If the main ingredient is strawberries, then the infusion time is greatly reduced - just 1 day is enough.
2. Pour the resulting strawberry tincture into another bottle and filter. To the drunken berries, which have given off some of the color and aroma to the tincture, add 1 kg of granulated sugar. Shake the jar well to mix the sugar with the strawberries. Place the mixture in a dark place. By taking out and shaking the jar, you will see how the strawberries release juice and the sugar gradually dissolves. After 2 weeks, the syrup can be drained and strained from the strawberry seeds.
3. Now comes the stage of mixing the tincture and syrup. To do this, it is better to take a larger container. After mixing the 2 drinks, pour them into bottles and close tightly. In principle, you can drink strawberry liqueur right away, but in order to benefit from taste and softness, let it brew for a couple more weeks in a cold place.

At the end of the first two stages, we receive both a semi-finished product for strawberry liqueur and an independent drink - strawberry tincture and strawberry syrup, similar to a low-alcohol liqueur. From the remaining berries you can make a third drink - strawberry juice, although its taste and aroma will no longer be bright. But it’s best not to chase after several birds with one stone, but to prepare a full-fledged tincture, which contains both sweetness and an alcoholic component.

Second way

This method is classic, without vodka, you only need berries and sugar. As a result of their combination, a natural fermentation process will occur, which will result in a beautiful, soft and aromatic strawberry liqueur. For 2 kg of fresh strawberries you will need 800 g of sugar. Sequencing:

1. Pour clean strawberries into a jar, add sugar, shake well.
2. Tie the neck with gauze to allow air access and place it in a dark place at room temperature for 3 days.
3. A sour smell, foam and hissing will appear - this means that the fermentation process has begun. It's time to remove the gauze and put a medical glove on the neck with a small hole in one of the fingers. In this case, the connection between the glove and the can must be sealed; air is not needed at this stage.
4. Now watch the glove: if it deflates, it’s ready, fermentation is complete. This usually happens within a period of 2 weeks to a month. Filter the liqueur through 2 layers of gauze and cotton wool, once or twice.
5. Pour the strawberry liqueur into bottles and seal with a cork. You can store it in a cool, dark place for 2-3 years, but there is a high probability that the drink will go away much earlier.

Third way

If you want to try strawberry tincture as soon as possible, then it makes sense to resort to the express method. By using it, you will get results within a day. Here again you will need 3 basic ingredients: strawberries, sugar, vodka. Accessories include durable glass bottles (for example, champagne containers) and a basin for a water bath.

Wash the strawberries, put them in thick glass bottles, and close them tightly with a lid. Place them in a bowl of cold water on the fire. After boiling, reduce the heat to low and keep in a water bath for about one and a half hours. Don't forget to make sure the water doesn't boil over. Wait until the water in the basin has cooled and remove the bottles with the resulting strawberry juice. Strain it and add 100–300 g of sugar (to taste) and 200–400 ml of vodka to 1 liter of juice. Pour the liqueur into glass containers (now these can be ordinary bottles), seal and let it brew for 24 hours at room temperature.

Quick pour is ready! This drink goes well with tea, coffee, fruits and various desserts - cakes, pastries, sweet pies - are suitable as snacks.

Any alcoholic drink can be bought in the store. But you must admit that it’s nice to put a bottle of strawberry liqueur, made yourself at home, on the holiday table. Strawberries are one of the most delicious and favorite garden berries. What is not prepared from it: compotes, jams, wines and liqueurs.

This recipe came to us from ancient Rus', where this liqueur was made in ovens. This method of preparation is suitable for those who do not want to wait a long time for this drink, but want to immediately get it during the day. The principle of this recipe is that when heated, the strawberries release their juices faster, instead of waiting 10 days for them to do so at their usual pace. This recipe is also suitable for other berries, such as cherries.

1. First, put the peeled and selected strawberries into a glass jar.

2. Pour vodka or 40-degree moonshine into glass vodka so that it covers the berries.

3. Take a regular A4 office sheet of paper and close the neck of the jar with it. We tie the neck with a regular elastic band.

4. Pierce a couple of small holes in the paper.

5. Preheat the slow cooker or oven to 100 degrees for 5 minutes. Then we turn them off and put a jar of our liqueur there. We do this many times until all the strawberries turn brown.

6. Filter the liqueur through a colander or cheesecloth. Add sugar to the resulting strawberry liqueur in the proportion of 100 grams of sugar per 1 liter of liqueur.

7. Pour the liqueur into bottles and taste it.
