Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh blueberries
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Vodka
- 250 milliliters Water
- 1 strip Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash and dry the blueberries thoroughly. Remove any stems or damaged berries.
In a large glass jar or airtight container, combine the blueberries, vodka, and lemon zest.
Cover the container tightly and shake it gently to mix the ingredients. Store the container in a cool, dark place for 4 weeks. Shake it gently once per week to help the flavors combine.
After 4 weeks, strain the blueberry and vodka mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl. Discard the solids.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, mix the sugar syrup with the strained blueberry vodka to create the liqueur.
Pour the finished liqueur into sterilized bottles or jars and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
Enjoy the liqueur neat, over ice, or as an ingredient in your favorite cocktails.
