When the fermentation process stops completely, and the berries settle to the bottom, carefully drain the liquid from the sediment, strain and bottle, put to ripen. After 7-10 days, low-alcohol raspberry tincture is ready for use.

Processing of blanks

To diversify the alcoholic menu in winter and spring, raspberry liqueur on vodka is made from frozen, dry, canned raw materials.

Frozen berries (2.5 kg) are poured with sugar (250 g) and poured with strong, well-purified moonshine (0.5 l). After a day, crush the raw materials well, stir and pour into a jar under a tightly closed lid. It is better to insist in the basement or cellar for 1-2 months. Then strain the liquid and bottle it for storage.

Dried Raspberry Pour Recipe:

• wash dry berries thoroughly;

• strain the drink and let it ripen for 1 week.

It is recommended to take raspberries for liqueurs fully ripe. If the berry does not hold its shape, it should not be washed, it is enough to sort it out, removing debris, spoiled fruits. Moonshine for the base is used strong, well-cleaned, without a strong specific smell.

Raspberry liqueur is like a song. It absorbs the delicate and bright taste of summer berries, pleasantly intoxicates, looks beautiful. Its deep deep pink color is surpassed only by the intoxicating aroma of raspberries.

The usual strength of raspberry liqueurs is 10-20%, but it can be both higher and lower. Homemade raspberry liqueurs ripen from 1 to 6 months. Stored - from six months to a year: the more alcohol they contain and the lower the storage temperature, the longer your creation will last.

The benefits and harms of raspberry liqueur

Everyone has known about the healing properties of the forest (and now garden) beauty since childhood. If you have a cold - drink some tea with raspberry jam!

So, even more useful substances from this berry pass into the liqueur than into jam. Here you will find a whole vitamin complex (A, C, B-1, B-2, B-9, PP), the “good” iron, calcium and sodium, phosphorus and manganese, copper and cobalt that the body needs. In addition, the liqueur contains essential oils and salicylic acid, as well as many tannins.

In short, the drink gives youth and health to every organ in our body, brings down the temperature, removes toxins. But they drink it as a medicine not in glasses, but only 2 tablespoons each (but 3 times a day!). At the same time, you do not have to overturn a glass after a glass (although this is not bad), you can add a medicinal portion to tea or fruit drink, dilute it with water.

The liqueur also has pitfalls. It can not be abused - this time. Secondly, it is forbidden to drink for people with alcoholism, young children (due to the content of that very alcohol) and allergy sufferers.

By the way, with regard to allergies - people who react to anthocyanins can easily prepare a liquor from yellow raspberries. Such a drink will be much paler than the classic counterpart, but equally tasty and healthy.

Types of raspberry liqueur

Raspberry liqueur is prepared in several variations:

• with and without alcohol;
• with added sugar (fructose, honey) and without sweeteners;
• only from raspberries or in a duet with other berries - strawberries, red currants, cranberries, etc.

Each of the options is delicious, fabulous, delicious in its own way. Raspberry liqueur is a great addition to desserts, ice cream, fruit cuts.

1. Berries. Must be fresh, healthy, ripe, without signs of spoilage and decay, larvae and worms. Therefore, they need to be sorted out, throwing out the entire marriage. Berries are washed only at the request of the recipe, because there are technologies that use unwashed berries (to preserve natural yeast on their surface).

It is not advisable to use berries from the freezer; it is good to use them for cooking, or tinctures.

1. Alcohol. We take any that exceeds a strength of 40% - vodka, cognac, fruit distillate of home origin, drinking ethyl alcohol diluted with water, etc. Don't skimp on it. Alcohol of dubious quality will spoil all the pleasure of the liquor. Of course, you should not take elite cognacs for liquor, but cloudy, foul-smelling moonshine, coupled with burnt vodka, are not intended for such a delicate drink.
2. Spices. The component is optional. But if desired, a pinch can be introduced into any liqueur recipe. Cumin, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and mint leaves go well with raspberries.
3. Sweeteners. Most often it is sugar. But it can be replaced with honey, fructose, or not used at all, preserving the original raspberry sourness in the liqueur.

How to prepare raspberries for liqueur

Preparation of berries should begin immediately after picking raspberries. Otherwise, they will let the juice go, and the larvae of raspberry bugs that accidentally get into the bucket will infect all the berries.

If the berries do not need to be washed according to the recipe, then they are sorted out one by one, carefully examining the areas inside the raspberries, and each spoiled place and each worm found in it are mechanically removed.

If the raspberries need to be washed, then they are first sorted out as described above, and then washed in small batches. A handful of berries are transferred to a colander, which is slowly immersed several times in a basin of water.

If there are a lot of raspberry bug larvae in the berries - such small white worms - we do this: we lower the harvested crop into salt water (1 tsp of salt per liter of water). We stand for 10-12 minutes, after which we drain the top layer of water with the floating larvae, and wash the berries themselves, putting them in a colander and lowering them into clean water.

Raspberry liqueur recipe (with vodka)

Fortress - 14-16%; output - about 1.5 l; stored - 1 year (at a temperature of 2-4 ° C).

Based on this recipe, you can make a “berry mix” liquor if you take 1 kg of raspberries and 1 kg of any other berries - strawberries, blackberries, red currants, etc.

Prepare:

• raspberries - 2 kilos
• sugar - 0.5 kilo or honey - 300 grams
• strong alcohol (40-45%) - vodka (alcohol, moonshine) - 700 ml
• water - 500 ml

The filling is prepared like this:

1. Wash the raspberries and, if possible, dry them, lightly crush them with a pusher (made of wood) and pour them into a glass jar.
2. Pour in alcohol. It should be 2-2.5 centimeters higher than raspberries. Therefore, be prepared that you will need additional alcohol.
3. Close the jar with a PET lid and keep for 7 days in a place inaccessible to sunlight. To make the extract more concentrated, you need to shake the jar once a day.
4. After a week, filter the tincture.
5. Pour the squeezed cake with water and boil, cool slightly and filter. Pour sugar into the resulting liquid, bring to a boil again and then simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. Cool down.

If you use honey, then we do this: cake, diluted with water, bring to a boil, filter. We bring the temperature of the raspberry liquid to 40 ° C (either by cooling it, or vice versa - heating). Dissolve honey in it.

1. Pour the strained raspberry tincture into the chilled sweet syrup, stir and filter through a gauze filter.
2. The resulting alcohol is poured into a bottle and sent to the cellar for maturation. The liqueur will ripen for exactly a month.
3. After 30 days, we take out the liquor, carefully separate it from the sediment and pour it into a container in which it is supposed to be stored.

You can diversify the recipe by introducing freshly squeezed filtered lemon juice into the recipe. It must be introduced before sending the liqueur for maturation in the amount of 20-30 ml per 0.5 l of liqueur.

Raspberry liqueur recipe (without vodka)

This recipe is made using a technology that is considered a classic for liqueurs. Alcohol is formed as a result of natural fermentation.

Fortress - 7-12%; output - about 1.5 l; stored - 1 year (at a temperature of 2-4 ° C).

Sort raspberries, but do not wash! Sterilize a glass jar (bottle with a wide mouth) of 4.5-5 liters, where the liqueur will be prepared. Prepare sterile gauze.

Prepare:

• raspberries - 3 kilos
• sugar - 1.2 kilos
• boiled, cooled or bottled water - 300 ml

The filling is prepared like this:

1. Put raspberries and sugar in a jar in layers: a layer of berries, a layer of sugar, berries, sugar, etc., until the prepared products run out. The last layer is sugar. No need to tamp.
2. Pour in water carefully. The jar (bottle) should be filled to the shoulders, but not completely. Its volume - 4.5-5 liters - is the most suitable for the indicated amount of ingredients, but it all depends on the shape of the container.
3. Lower the wooden pusher or rolling pin into the berries several times, kneading them slightly, but without stirring or rubbing.
4. Tie the jar with gauze, closing its neck from the penetration of insects.
5. Put the jar on the windowsill of a sunny window. After a few days (usually 3-4), the fermentation process should start - foam, a sour smell will appear.
6. Now the gauze must be removed, and the jar closed either with a lid with a water seal, or with a rubber pharmacy glove perforated in the little finger.
7. After 20-50 days, the fermentation will be completed, the "burbalki" on the water seal will disappear (the glove will fall off). This means that it's time to filter the liquor.

The resulting raspberry cake should not be thrown away. It can improve the taste of home distillates (moonshine). To do this, you just need to fill the cake with 50-55% alcohol.

1. After filtering, we keep the drink for another 7-10 days in a cool place, and separate it from the sediment.
2. Now pour the liqueur into a sterile container and cork, keep for 2-2.5 months in a cellar or basement (with a temperature of 5-16 ° C). If you want to make the drink stronger - before capping, you can add 40-45% alcohol to it. But this is optional.

Ready-made raspberry liqueur (naturally fermented) goes well with citrus juices - orange, lemon, lime. They are added to it before use at the rate of 20-30 ml per 0.5 liter of liquor.

Raspberry liqueur was especially loved by the nobles. The berry grows both in the garden and in the forest, and today it is possible to buy it in the markets and supermarkets. If earlier moonshine was used in recipes, then after supplying retail chains with vodka, they began to use alcohol from stores. An old grandmother shared a raspberry recipe, and grandmother's recipes are always the most delicious.

How grandmothers made raspberry liqueur

Ingredients:

• 0.5 kg raspberries
• 0.5 l vodka
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 100 ml of water from a filter or spring, i.e. purified

1. Pour raspberries into a jar, add sugar, pour 0.5 liters of vodka and add water.
2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, close the plastic lid and put in the refrigerator for 2 months. If you live in a private house, put the jar in the basement.
3. At the end of the period, we filter the contents first through a fine sieve, then through 3-4 layers of gauze or a loose, not dense cotton wool, which we place in a funnel. So the drink will be lighter. However, if you know other ways to filter, use your options.
4. Next, pour the liquor into bottles and leave it in the refrigerator or in the cabinet. If you keep raspberry liqueur at room temperature, the aroma of fresh berries will be more pronounced.

Grandmother made raspberry liqueur on moonshine. It’s just that for many lovers of homemade drinks, vodka is easier to get.

How to make raspberry liqueur on moonshine in 2 weeks

Ingredients:

Raspberries - 2/3 of a three-liter jar

Moonshine - 1.5 liters (volume may change)

Sugar - 100 g

Step by step recipe for raspberry liqueur

1. We collect fresh raspberries two-thirds of a three-liter jar.
2. We crush with a crush.
3. Fill the berry with moonshine to the top of the can, i.e. complete. Mint raspberries have decreased in volume, so moonshine will need 1.5 liters. The volume is not exact, it is important to fill the jar to the top.
4. Mix thoroughly.
5. We close the plastic lid and remove the infusion. The liqueur is infused for 2 to 6 weeks. The longer the infusion period, the richer and brighter the taste of the drink will be. We don’t touch the jar, we don’t need to shake it.
6. We put in a dark place, away from sunlight. During infusion, raspberry porridge rises to the surface.
7. We will filter through four layers of gauze. If raspberry porridge is dense, then raspberry juice will come out with difficulty. Remove the mixture with a spoon. Strain the drink, and then gently squeeze the porridge in gauze, because splashes fly.
8. Pour the clean liquor back into the jar.
9. Now add sugar to taste. On average, 100-200 g of the product is taken. We stir the sugar.
10. We leave the raspberry liqueur to infuse for 3 days to precipitate.
11. The top of the liquor is carefully poured into the bottle.
12. Drain the second part of the drink with sediment using a silicone tube. More often, a pharmacy dropper tube is taken (it is not expensive). The obligatory condition of the bank with the liquor is placed higher than the bottle into which the drink is poured. Air is sucked out of the tube by the mouth until the liquid moves. Condition - the tube does not touch the sediment. For convenience, tie a stick to the tube, which will be longer than the dropper and rest against the bottom. This method will create stability for the tube. In bottles, the liquor will still be cloudy. Let it brew for a couple more days to acquire transparency.

It is recommended to drink raspberry liqueur before going to bed. 30 g for stress relief and blood flow, then the hands and feet warm up quickly. Do not forget to snack on alcohol with fruit, candy or a sandwich. The alcohol content can be an irritant to the stomach.
