5. After this time, drain the liquid into an empty container.

6. The pulp remaining in the jar must be thoroughly squeezed out. We prepare syrup based on the resulting juice. To do this, place it on a lit burner. enamel pan. Pour the squeezed juice, water into it and add granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil. After this, reduce the heat intensity and keep the pan on the stove for another 4-5 minutes.

The nobles especially loved raspberry liqueur. The berry grows both in the garden and in the forest, and today it is possible to buy it in 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 grandma’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 and close plastic cover and put it in the refrigerator for 2 months. If you live in a private house, place the jar in the basement.
3. After the expiration date, filter the contents first through a fine sieve, then through 3-4 layers of gauze or loose, loose cotton wool, which we place in a funnel. This will make the drink lighter. However, if you know other ways to filter, use your options.
4. Next, pour the liqueur into bottles and leave it in the refrigerator or cupboard. If you keep the raspberry liqueur at room temperature, the aroma of fresh berries will be more pronounced.

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

How to make raspberry liqueur using 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 take two-thirds of a three-liter jar of fresh raspberries.
2. Knead with a masher.
3. Fill the berries with moonshine to the top of the jar, i.e. complete. The crushed raspberries have decreased in volume, so you will need 1.5 liters of moonshine. The volume is not exact, it is important to fill the jar to the top.
4. Mix thoroughly.
5. Closing plastic cover and remove to infuse. 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, there’s no need to shake it.
6. Place in a dark place, away from sunlight. During infusion, the raspberry porridge rises to the surface.
7. We will strain through four layers of gauze. If the raspberry porridge is dense, then raspberry juice It will be difficult to get out. Remove the mixture with a spoon. Strain the drink, and then carefully squeeze the porridge in gauze, because splashes fly.
8. Pour the clean liqueur back into the jar.
9. Now add sugar to taste. On average, 100-200 g of product is taken. Stir the sugar.
10. Let the raspberry liqueur sit for 3 days for sediment to settle.
11. The top of the liqueur is carefully poured into the bottle.
12. We drain the second part of the drink with the sediment using a silicone tube. More often, a pharmacy IV tube is taken (it is not expensive). The obligatory condition of the jar with the liqueur is placed higher than the bottle into which the drink is poured. Air is sucked out of the tube with your mouth until the liquid moves. Condition - the tube does not touch the sediment. For convenience, tie a stick to the tube that will be longer than the dropper and rest against the bottom. This method will create stability for the tube. The bottled liquor will still be cloudy. Let it sit for a couple more days to gain transparency.

It is recommended to drink raspberry liqueur before bed. 30 g to relieve stress and blood flow, then the hands and feet quickly warm up. Don’t forget to snack on alcohol with fruit, candy or a sandwich. The alcohol content may be a stomach irritant.

If you are interested in the recipes and don’t have the patience to wait for the summer harvest, try making liqueur

Among the features of the alcoholic drink that comes from these berries, one should note the softness of taste, unsurpassed aroma, and excellent compatibility with other ingredients in cocktails. Of course, a lazy person can go to the store and buy raspberry vodka there, but believe me, with the product homemade she can't be compared. Moreover, in the case of liqueur, you have more than one recipe and all the possibilities for a fine selection of ingredients and obtaining a result that exactly suits your taste. Let's take a closer look at the variety of recipes.

Raspberry liqueur

Preparing raspberries

So, option number one includes only two ingredients: raspberries and vodka. The raspberries for harvesting should ideally be from your home garden, the same ones you ate from the bush in the summer. If you don’t have such wealth, but want to make liqueur, go to the market - the local grandmothers’ product is also good. If you are unlucky with the market, the berry can be purchased at the supermarket, although here it may lose its flavor due to storage and transportation conditions.

If you come across such berries, take them without a doubt.

Meeker raspberries

Choosing vodka

The second ingredient must also be chosen with special care; the taste and aroma of the final product depends on the quality of the vodka; if unsuccessful, instead of raspberries you will only smell alcohol, which is not much fun. Standard vodka can serve as a guide; do not buy products that are cheaper and of lower quality if you want to get an acceptable result.

Choose quality vodka

Cooking features

Once the ingredients have been purchased, we begin processing them. Pour two liters of raspberries, remove the stems from the berries so as not to spoil the taste of the drink with excessive astringency. We wash and sort with special care - everything that is under-ripe and over-ripe, that has turned into mush, or damaged by insects and diseases must be filtered out. Now that only best berries, pour them into a jar and fill with vodka so that the liquid completely covers the raspberries. The mixture should be stirred further, after which the jar can be closed and placed in a dry and warm place.

Vodka should infuse for at least 7 days, during this week stir the contents of the jar every day, and after the expiration of the period, try what you got. Pay attention first of all to the raspberry notes in the taste and the corresponding aroma; if these signs are not pronounced enough, you should replace the berries ( Preliminary processing according to the diagram above) and continue infusing until you are finally satisfied with the taste. At this stage, all that remains is to filter the liquid, for which, for example, a coffee filter is suitable. There should be no sediment or suspension left in the final version, which will be stored in the refrigerator.

Please note that the recipe does not contain specific proportions of vodka and raspberries, because there is no friend for the taste and color. In this case, the final result can be greatly influenced by both the quality of the initial ingredients and your diligence in mixing. At the initial stage of mastering the recipe, practice on small test volumes, so you can calculate the proportion that you personally like. Regarding the options for “semi-dry” and “semi-sweet” liqueurs, the proportions do not affect as much as the original sweetness of the raspberries. Check the berries when purchasing, because adding sugar during the preparation of the liqueur will not solve the problem. If the end result does not satisfy you in terms of sweetness, we recommend using this liqueur as part of cocktails, and preparing another one for individual use. Finally, in this drink two ingredients and in your experiments there should also be two of them (in different proportions), you should not add other fruits or berries, since the compatibility of raspberries with them is very doubtful. The result usually upsets experimenters, both in taste and appearance.

Alternatives with sugar

Of course, lovers of home-made strong drinks could not limit themselves to one option, because berries and fruits can turn into alcohol through fermentation, by mixing with pure alcohol and many other liquids. Let’s not limit ourselves in our imagination and we will consider another option using vodka, but significantly different in technology.

We will need 1.3 kilograms of raspberries, a liter of vodka, as well as 700 milliliters of water (400 in the first stage and 300 for syrup) and 400-600 grams of sugar. Yes, this recipe has completely different approaches, both to the ingredients and to the consistency. Rinse the berries through a colander and drain the remaining water. Crumpled raspberries that have released juice should not be separated or specially washed in any way, because then we will turn the entire berry mass into porridge. Pour the raspberries into a jar, crush (a rolling pin or pestle is suitable for this operation), add vodka and water, mix all the ingredients properly. Obviously in this case the interaction between raspberries and alcohol-containing liquid will be more active. However, the infusion period takes 8-10 days, the place should be sunny. Infusion is accompanied by periodic stirring of the contents.

Raspberries
Water Vodka
Sugar

Having met the deadline, you can move on to filtering the liqueur. For this, as a rule, gauze is used, folded in several layers; do not forget to squeeze out the cake. When the infusion is properly filtered, syrup (200-300 milliliters of water and sugar) is added to it, after which the components are mixed and another waiting period begins.

At this stage, you will have to wait two to three weeks, monitor the drink all the time, and filter any sediment that may form during the process. Your wait and diligence will be generously rewarded; according to this recipe, you will receive Reviver, but with very mild taste, where the alcohol itself is practically not felt.

The cake obtained through the process of filtration and pressing can be reused to prepare raspberry liqueur according to another recipe, for example, according to the principle of simply pouring vodka.

Another recipe calls for adding sugar to pure form, without boiling the syrup. In this case, initially the berries are placed in a sunny place and wait until fermentation begins; then the material is softened and acquired a specific aroma. Place a layer of berries in a jar, sprinkle them with sugar, put another layer of raspberries on top and add, when you consider the number of layers sufficient, pour the mixture with vodka until completely covered. The infusion period is 10 days, at the end the liquid is filtered (gauze and cotton wool are used as usual).

Gauze is used as a liquid filter

I also have one more recipe for those who are especially patient. In this case, take very ripe raspberries (300 grams, choose juicier varieties), high-quality vodka (half a liter, you can use the same Standard), purified, 100 grams of sugar and water. Preparatory stage includes cleaning of insects and stalks so that only juicy berries remain. They, in turn, are washed in a colander with tap water (to avoid damaging the berries, place gauze on the bottom); at the end of the procedure, wait until all the water has drained. Then the raspberries are poured into a jar and filled with vodka to a level two centimeters above the berry mass.

The jar, closed with a lid, is sent to a cold, dark place - a basement or refrigerator - for a period of two months. At the end of it, the fractions are separated: the infused vodka is poured into a bottle, and the raspberries remain in the jar.

Dark, cool place - 2 months
Then the refrigerator - 1.5 months

Next, we put the vodka in the refrigerator for a month and a half (yes, patience and more patience), and add sugar to the jar, close it and shake it. Now you can put it next to the raspberry vodka, but don’t forget to check and shake it every two weeks. When the month and a half of shaking is finally over, the vodka and candied raspberries should be taken out of the refrigerator and heated in natural conditions until room temperature. Add boiling water to the jar, then strain and wait until the drained liquid cools. Finally, both components of the liqueur should be combined and bottled for storage. The whole process takes about 3.5 months, but note that the result is worth it.

As you can see, there are plenty of options with vodka, but you don’t have to limit yourself to them; raspberries can be fermented without adding alcohol-containing products, or you can infuse the berries in liquids other than vodka. Every time you get a characteristic taste and aroma, but with its own twist.

The process takes a lot of time, but the result is worth it

Preparing liqueur with alcohol, cognac and moonshine

In this case, the alcohol used for pouring is particularly strong - either pure alcohol at 96%, or diluted to 65%. It is recommended to choose berries with sufficient sugar content, ripe and already soft (in this case, you will not have to crush them additionally).

Raspberries in alcohol

Rinse the raspberries and place them in a jar in which you will further infuse, pour in alcohol so that the liquid completely covers the berries. Cover and place in a cool place out of direct sunlight. You need to keep the liqueur for a month, after which you can drain it through the filter. If you need to add sugar to your taste, use sugar syrup(cook in a water bath so as not to spoil the taste with caramel notes). This way you will adjust the level of sweetness, also do not forget to dilute the result with water to get the required level of strength, since the initial 65-96% is a bit too much.

Moonshine liqueur

Even more unusual options are liqueurs made with moonshine and even cognac. For a moonshine drink, after washing, the berries should be pureed (you can use a meat grinder or a rolling pin/pestle). The classic volume in this case is three liter jar, where two liters of raspberries are poured, 3 tablespoons are added natural honey and the remaining volume is filled with moonshine (45% strength). The readiness time of the infused product is determined by eye; a clear sign that the liqueur is ready is the discoloration of the raspberries. Now you can strain and filter it, use gauze folded several times and a cotton pad for this.

Raspberries with cognac

For cognac liqueurs, the proportions used are 0.75:1, where the larger measure refers to cognac. No sugar-containing products are added (no honey, no syrup) in order to preserve the noble combination of taste of cognac and raspberries. The preparation process is close to the first two-ingredient version of vodka liqueur - pour raspberries into a jar, fill it with alcohol-containing liquid (cognac) to a level of 2-3 centimeters on top of the berries, close tightly and put in a warm place. The waiting period is 45-60 days, after which you can drain and filter. It is recommended to store the drink in bottles in a cool place.

The resulting drink has two main uses - entertainment, which is greatly facilitated by the alcoholic component of the liqueur, and medicinal - raspberries are responsible for this part, which is so rich in vitamins and other biologically important active substances. Feel free to offer raspberry liqueur to your guests when you gather them at the table, just warn your friends about moderation. Considering the pleasant and sweet taste drink, you can forget about its strength and drink too much. In autumn and winter, when you no longer want to go to anyone, and there is not enough warmth, take out raspberry liqueur and use it to warm up. A cold, cough or sore throat would also be a good reason to use it. Prophylactic use berry tincture helps to generally increase immunity and cleanse blood vessels, preventing the possible formation of sclerotic plaques. The reason for this action is chemical composition raspberries, which includes "a lot of fiber, vitamins A, B, C, copper, iron, magnesium, essential oils, zinc, cobalt, as well as pectin, tannin and nitrogenous substances." Salicylic acid, which is contained in this product, will help relieve fever during colds. After consultation with a doctor, raspberries can also be used to treat kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, anemia.

A good reason to use raspberry liqueur is a cold.

However, there are also contraindications to eating raspberries, both raw and in liqueurs. They are associated with possible allergic reactions to red berries; raspberries are also not suitable for patients with nephritis or gout, constipation, stomach or duodenal ulcers. If you have liver problems, you should also eat raspberries in moderation. Finally, all contraindications typical for alcohol apply to liqueur - pregnant, lactating women, and children should refrain from drinking liqueur.

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.

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, take it elite cognacs It’s not worth it 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(per 1 liter of water – 1 tsp salt). Let stand for 10-12 minutes, after which upper layer We drain the 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 liqueur " berry mix", 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. In chilled sweet syrup pour the strained raspberry tincture, 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. 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! Glass jar(bottle with a wide neck) 4.5-5 liters, where the liqueur will be prepared, sterilize. 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. Last layer- 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 is 4.5-5 liters - most suitable for specified quantity 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.

Received 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.
