Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh raspberries
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 500 milliliters vodka
- 1 strip lemon zest
- 250 milliliters water
Instructions
1. Wash the raspberries thoroughly under cold running water and drain them well.
2. In a clean, sterile 1-liter glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the fresh raspberries and vodka.
3. Add the strip of lemon zest to the jar to enhance the flavor.
4. Seal the jar tightly, and give it a gentle shake to mix the contents.
5. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to infuse, shaking it gently every few days to distribute the flavors.
6. After 2 weeks, strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the solids. Discard the solids.
7. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves to make a simple syrup. Let it cool completely.
8. Once the syrup has cooled, add it to the strained raspberry and vodka mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
9. Pour the finished liqueur into clean, sterilized bottles and seal them tightly.
10. Let the liqueur age for an additional week in a cool, dark place to allow the flavors to meld fully before enjoying.
11. Serve the raspberry liqueur chilled, over ice, or in your favorite cocktails. Enjoy responsibly!
