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

The usual strength of raspberry liqueurs is 10-20%, but it can be higher and lower. Homemade raspberry liqueurs ripen from 1 to 6 months. They can be 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 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 go into the liqueur than into the 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, lowers the temperature, and removes toxins. But they drink it as medicine not in glasses, but only 2 tablespoons (but 3 times a day!). At the same time, you don’t have to drink glass after glass (although this is not bad), you can add a medicinal portion to tea or fruit drink, dilute with water.

The liqueur also has pitfalls. It cannot be abused - that's it. Secondly, it is prohibited for people with alcoholism, small children (due to the alcohol content) and allergy sufferers.

By the way, regarding allergies, people who react to anthocyanins can easily prepare their own liqueur from yellow raspberry varieties. Such a drink will be much paler than its 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, and delightful in its own way. Raspberry liqueur is a great addition to desserts, ice cream, and fruit slices.

1. Berries. Must be fresh, healthy, ripe, without signs of spoilage and rotting, larvae and worms. Therefore, they need to be sorted out, throwing out all the rejects. Berries are washed only as required by 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 anything that exceeds 40% strength - vodka, cognac, homemade fruit distillate, drinking ethyl alcohol diluted with water, etc. Don't skimp on it. Alcohol of dubious quality will ruin all the pleasure from the liqueur. Of course, you shouldn’t take elite cognacs for pouring, 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 added to 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

Preparing berries should begin immediately after picking raspberries. Otherwise, they will release juice, and raspberry beetle larvae that accidentally fall 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 at a time, carefully examining the areas inside the raspberries, and every spoiled place and every worm found in it is mechanically removed.

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

If there are a lot of raspberry beetle larvae in the berries - those little white worms - we do this: put the harvested crop in salt water (1 tsp of salt per 1 liter of water). Let stand for 10-12 minutes, after which we drain the top layer of water with the floating larvae, and wash the berries themselves by placing them in a colander and lowering them into clean water.

Recipe for raspberry liqueur (with vodka)

Strength - 14-16%; output - approximately 1.5 l; shelf life – 1 year (at a temperature of 2-4°C).

Based on this recipe, you can make a “berry mix” liqueur 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 kilos or honey – 300 grams
• strong alcohol (40-45%) - vodka (alcohol, moonshine) - 700 ml
• water – 500 ml

The liqueur is prepared as follows:

1. Wash the raspberries and dry them if possible, crush them lightly 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 leave 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 resulting squeezed cake with water and boil, cool slightly and filter. Pour sugar into the resulting liquid, bring to a boil again and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. Cool.

If you use honey, then 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, on the contrary, heating it). Dissolve honey in it.

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

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

Raspberry liqueur recipe (without vodka)

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

Strength - 7-12%; output - approximately 1.5 l; shelf life – 1 year (at a temperature of 2-4°C).

Sort the raspberries, but do not wash them! Sterilize a 4.5-5 liter glass jar (bottle with a wide neck) 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 liqueur is prepared as follows:

1. Place raspberries and sugar in a jar in layers: a layer of berries, a layer of sugar, berries, sugar, etc., until the prepared products are finished. The last layer is sugar. There is no need to compact it.
2. Carefully pour in water. The jar (bottle) should be filled up to the shoulders, but not completely. Its volume - 4.5-5 liters - is most suitable for the specified amount of ingredients, but it all depends on the shape of the container.
3. Place a wooden pusher or rolling pin into the berries several times, lightly kneading them, but without stirring or grinding.
4. Tie the jar with gauze, closing its neck from the penetration of insects.
5. Place the jar on the windowsill of a sunny window. After a few days (usually 3-4), the fermentation process should start - foam and a sour smell should appear.
6. Now you need to remove the gauze and close the jar either with a lid with a water seal or with a rubber pharmacy glove with a hole in your little finger.
7. After 20-50 days, fermentation will be completed, the “burbals” on the water seal will disappear (the glove will fall). This means it’s time to filter the liqueur.

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 we pour the liqueur into a sterile container and seal it, keep it for 2-2.5 months in a cellar or basement (at a temperature of 5-16°C). If you want to make the drink stronger, you can add 40-45% alcohol to it before capping. 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 liqueur.

What could be tastier than homemade raspberry liqueur? Rich taste, heady aroma of berries, memories of summer - this is what this noble drink combines. This is an absolutely natural product obtained as a result of natural fermentation. The raspberry liqueurs described in this article are prepared relatively quickly, but are quite labor-intensive. But the resulting result will justify all your efforts and will pleasantly surprise you with its taste and aroma.

General characteristics of liqueurs

Of all the natural low-alcohol drinks in Russia, liqueur is the most common, because it is not without reason that it is called “Russian liqueur.” Sometimes liqueurs are combined into one concept with tinctures, but these are different drinks. The main difference from tinctures is that liqueurs have a much larger percentage of fruit (berry) component, and this gives them a richer taste. The liqueurs are made from fruits and berries: raspberries, strawberries, cherries, plums, apples, currants and many others.

There are more than a hundred varieties of traditional recipes for making liqueurs. Many of them are hundreds of years old. All of them are divided into two main types. The first type of liqueurs is made by natural fermentation of fruits with sugar; the strength of such drinks is low - from 18 to 20%. The second type is stronger (25-35%) and contains an alcoholic component. In industrial conditions, the following are used to make liqueurs: alcoholized juices, infusions of berries and fruits, alcohol, sugar and water.

Video about the recipe for raspberry liqueur

The ripening time for liqueurs can vary from one to six months. Raspberry liqueur is prepared much faster than plums, cherries or currants. This is due to the fact that raspberries have the shortest shelf life and quickly ferment.

The berries for your liqueur should be ripe and fresh. If the raspberries have already been sitting for several days, and some of the berries have spoiled, you will have to sort them out. You also need to remove the stalks and sepals from the berries.

If there are raspberry beetle larvae on the fruits, you need to get rid of them as follows:

• for 1 liter of water add 1 tsp. salt;
• immerse the berries in a saline solution for 8-10 minutes;
• after the larvae emerge, carefully remove them;
• strain the raspberries through a colander.

The berries for your liqueur should be ripe and fresh.

Wash all raspberries in a gentle manner. To do this, you need to pour it into a colander in parts and immerse it in a container with cold water (pan or bucket) for a few seconds. You cannot keep raspberries in water for a long time, as they will take on water and become soggy. Then you need to let the berries stand for a while to allow the water to drain. Washed and sorted berries are the basis for preparing our liqueur.

Necessary ingredients for cooking

For a three-liter jar:

• raspberries – 2.2 kg;
• sugar – 0.8 kg;
• water – 200 g (1 glass).

For a 10 liter container:

• raspberries – 7.3 kg;
• sugar – 2.7 kg;
• water – 700 g (2.5 cups).

Washed and sorted berries are the basis for preparing our liqueur.

Cooking process

• First you need to pour the raspberries into a three-liter jar. You need to lay the berries in several layers, adding sugar after each layer.
• Add water. Water must be used clean, without impurities. It should not be boiled, since when boiling, oxygen evaporates from the water, which will subsequently negatively affect the fermentation process. In the container with raspberries, there should be a third of free space from the edge for subsequent fermentation.
• Crush the berries thoroughly with a wooden rolling pin until they release juice.
• Tie the neck of the jar with gauze so that insects do not land on the prepared mixture and dust does not fall.
• Place the jar in a warm place for 4 days to begin fermentation. During this time, the fermentation process should begin. The mixture may “play out” even earlier, so it is necessary to monitor its condition every day.
• Then remove the gauze and install a water seal on the neck of the jar. There are special covers for the water seal. But if you don’t have one, use a regular rubber glove, first piercing a small hole in your finger.

You need to lay the berries in several layers, adding sugar after each layer.

• Keep the mass in a warm place under a water seal for 10-20 days until the end of fermentation. If you use a water seal lid, it should stop bubbling, which will indicate that the fermentation process has stopped. If you use a glove, it will be inflated during the fermentation process, and will fall off when finished.
• The resulting mixture must be filtered through gauze folded in several layers. Pour back into the jar, close the lid and leave for 2 days in a cool, dark place. You can make wine from the remaining raspberry pomace, but this is a topic for another article.
• For lovers of sweet and sour tastes, you can add freshly squeezed lemon or orange juice to the liqueur, thus creating a “Sangria” type drink.
• Pour the liqueur into bottles and seal.

The most delicious liqueur is ready to drink!

This drink is easy to drink, its strength is about 20%, volumetric sugar content is 30-40%. Shelf life is more than 1 year in a cool, dark place.

There is another way to prepare raspberry liqueur - alcohol-based. You can use any strong alcoholic drink as a base: vodka, diluted alcohol, moonshine or cognac. It is important that the base is of sufficiently good quality.

Required ingredients:

• raspberries – 2.5 kg;
• alcohol base – 0.75 l;
• sugar – 0.5 kg;

Cooking technology

If you use alcohol as a base, it must be diluted with water to 40-45%. You need to take clean water. The regular one from the tap will not work - it is too hard and contains many different impurities. The ideal option would be spring or artesian water. Regular bottled table water or, in extreme cases, distilled water is also suitable. In order to make 40% of 96% alcohol with a volume of 1 liter, you need to add 1.4 liters of water. In our case, you will need 0.3 liters of alcohol diluted with 0.45 liters of water.

If you use alcohol as a base, it must be diluted with water to 40-45%

• First you need to prepare the berries, as in the first recipe;
• Pour the berries into a glass container (bottle) and crush them thoroughly with a wooden rolling pin;
• Pour the raspberries with alcohol base so that its level is several centimeters above the level of the berries;
• Cover the neck of the bottle with gauze and place in a warm place for 7 days;
• Strain the mixture through several layers of cheesecloth;
• Squeeze out the raspberry pulp and prepare syrup from the resulting juice using the following technology: mix sugar, water and raspberry juice in a bowl, boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring and skimming, cool to room temperature.
• Pour the resulting syrup into a glass container (bottle) with raspberry vodka and stir. Instead of a glass container, you can use a wooden barrel if you have one - this would be ideal;

Pour the resulting syrup into a glass container (bottle) with raspberry vodka and mix

• If necessary, strain the liqueur again through cheesecloth;
• Place the bottle in a dark and cool place for one month;
• After a month, filter again through cotton wool and pour into bottles, capping tightly.

The strength of the resulting liqueur is about 30-35%. It will not give you a headache in the morning, as it consists of natural and high-quality ingredients. The shelf life of this drink is just over 1 year, if stored in a cool, dark place.

This drink perfectly preserves the taste and aroma of the fruits from which it is made. In addition to direct consumption, the liqueur can be used to prepare cocktails, add to tea, coffee, and also for soaking confectionery products.
