Time to go back to square one and use the ingredients I’ve come to love that are so simple; vodka, sugar and fruit. Infuse the liqueur for up to six weeks if you like, particularly when using high-proof vodka. The extra time allows the flavor to develop and mellow even further.
Ha-Ha on me…just read your bio and found out you are in the Fraser Valley. I’m in the northern part of the province. Looking forward to returning here for more ideas. I sure wish we could grow blackberries here…haven’t had any since visiting the Island many years ago. The ones you can buy in the store just aren’t the same at all. I totally get excited about trying new concoctions too and yours sound soooo good.
Jack and Coke Cocktail
It’s delicious sipped on its own, added to your favorite cocktail, or mixed with club soda. This one I can do as, being summer here, I should be able to find fresh raspberries. Can’t wait to be sipping this with some champers, thanks Barb!. I’ve never made my own liqueurs – I really should try it sometime. And as you say, cognac is just brandy from the Cognac region of France.
However, it is best when made with vodka that you'd drink straight, and there are some excellent budget-friendly vodkas available. Try it with a citrus or vanilla vodka base for extra flavor. While most vodka is bottled at 40 percent ABV , using 100-proof vodka will create a slightly bolder flavor and higher alcohol content. It has simple ingredients like lemon juice, gin, and raspberry liqueur that create a lovely red color. The refreshing drink has gin, raspberry liqueur, fresh raspberries, lime juice, and sparkling soda water, and every sip is like a party in your mouth.
Homemade raspberry vodka
It features raspberry liqueur that makes it more approachable for those who are not used to the bitter taste of Campari. Each ingredient is connected to San Francisco, from the Campari, honey syrup, Anderson Valley IPA, and raspberry liqueur. The extensive fruit flavor of the shot is thanks to the peach, lemon, and raspberry flavors, and taking the shot is similar to eating gummy bears. Made with gin, an egg, and raspberry liqueur, this cocktail can pack a wallop while keeping its class and looking elegant. The result is a fun, bright red mixed drink that is somewhere halfway between tarty and sweet. Can you leave out the sugar when making raspberry gin.
Fresh raspberries work just as well, though you'll find that they make a better liqueur when at their peak during the summer months. Ensure the jar is sealed and store in a cool dark place, turning/shaking once a day for the first week. After 2-3 weeks you can strain the vodka through a sieve lined with coffee filter papers or a clean kitchen cloth.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Depending on factors like the season or your location, raspberries can vary in sweetness. The recipe would probably work with any soft berries just as well. Whatever you have on hand or the mood that you are in, there is a raspberry liqueur recipe to match it. If you love tart and fruity drink recipes, this Chambord Sour Cocktail is right up your cocktail-drinking alley.
Keep the container in a dark place at room temperature. If you don't have a dark cupboard in your house, put the bottles in a paper grocery bag and stir or rotate them a couple of times a day. They work hard to impart authentic, true-to-nature flavors into each of their expressions, and their Giffard Framboise Liqueur does not fall short. It offers a bold, intense profile that adds depth, character, and complexity to any cocktail, whether it’s happy hour at the bar or dessert time at home. However, I can only add less than one cup of 100 proof vodka per jar.
More often than not, though, you will get the best results when you slowly infuse the liquor with fresh ingredients. For example, lemon cordial made with fresh lemon zest will taste much better than when made with lemon extract. Sip them poolside, share with friends, or host a grand summer party – either way, these raspberry cocktails are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. On the nose, you’ll find rich, complex, and fresh berry notes.
Measure out how much liquid you have left . Measure the alcohol content with your hydrometer and make note of the abv and volume. In the bottle, it’s a light red color with a pink tinge – giving cocktails a bright and beautiful appearance right off the bat.
Start by creating some of the most popular liqueur flavors, like coffee, amaretto, and Irish cream — they all rely on vodka for their kick. Or you may prefer to infuse the subtle essences of herbs, spices, or fruit. You can make all kinds of liqueurs at home.
You ARE organized, thinking about Christmas already! I plan on doing some other variations and going to gift them in little jars. Hi Miranda, we haven’t ever experienced mold or bad bacteria in our batches. I think the alcohol takes care of that, but if you are worried, you can always keep this in your fridge.
Good quality, well-made spirits won’t do this, so it’s important to find quality ingredients if you want a quality cocktail. You'll be able to find Chambord raspberry liqueur at most liquor stores. It's the one in a round bottle with an ornate gold cap—it sells for around $35.
