Each of us knows that the strawberry season is very short, and the price category of this product changes every time. But still, there is a way to prolong the pleasure of such a delicacy for longer, namely by preparing a very original drink at home - strawberry liqueur.

The drink prepared according to this recipe has a very rich aroma of fresh strawberries, a rather pleasant soft taste, and a beautiful red color.

All we need for preparation is:

• cognac or vodka, alcohol if desired - 1 liter;
• fresh strawberries – 1 kilogram;
• sugar – 1 kilogram;
• lemon juice -30 grams;
• clean water - 0.5 liters.

Cooking method step by step:

The first step is to very carefully sort out the strawberries themselves, remove the missing fruits and separate the tails and stems from the fruit itself. After which they need to be washed under running water, then each berry is divided in half into two even parts.

In the next stage, we transfer our strawberries into a clean separate container (jar, bottle), fill them with cognac, vodka or alcohol, adding lemon juice. Close the whole thing very tightly with a lid.

It is important to take into account the fact that the alcohol covers the berries by at least two centimeters.

After this time, it is necessary to strain our liqueur through a sieve and carefully filter several times through a triple layer of ordinary gauze.

Now we will need our unaccounted for ingredients, namely a kilogram of sugar and water. Mix them in a saucepan and put on the stove. You need to wait until the water boils, and then let it stand for about five minutes, removing the resulting foam with a slotted spoon. You must wait until the resulting syrup cools.

Mix water with strawberry infusion and pour the almost finished drink into empty bottles. We just have to wait a little longer.

For seven or eight days we leave our strawberry liqueur in a dark place where room temperature is maintained.

Video recipe for strawberry liqueur

XuXu liqueur originates in Germany. In the 9th century, the Underberg Family began producing herbal tinctures, which were presented to the world at an exhibition in England.
Since 1939, production stopped due to problems with raw materials.
About 10 years later, the Underberg heirs resumed the production of tincture in small bottles, giving rise to the development of a new alcoholic drink. The recipe itself was originally taken from German bartenders who mixed strawberry puree with vodka.
Since 1997, we have known this liqueur under the global brand XuXu.

Modern liqueur Ksyu Ksyu is made from natural strawberries, lime juice and high-grade vodka. It has a bright red color and does not taste very sweet with a hint of slight sourness from lime.

Because of its composition, the liqueur, which contains about 70% juicy strawberries, has become very popular among the fairer sex.
It was even given the name "Drink of the Goddesses."

If anyone doesn’t know, XuXu is a German liqueur made from fresh strawberries with vodka. Although, the name “liqueur” here is very arbitrary - the drink is not even sweet at all. But thick and very aromatic.
Honestly, I have respected “Ksyu Ksyu” since my youth - it’s very, very tasty. And from time to time I buy it for my beloved, exclusively.
But, apparently, over the years I have somehow become more tight-fisted, or perhaps my “toad” has grown up and is no longer strangling like a child, or excise taxes have become such that you can’t buy anything without a toad...

In general, I was returning from Tunisia, but in “duty free” and stocked up on all sorts of drinks while I was waiting for the flight. Well, I bought Ksyu Ksyu at the same time.
And while we were flying, my toad attacked me and started strangling me - and why was I, in my right mind and memory, given 22 euros for a liter of strawberries with vodka?!

It fit perfectly - the pulp goes away (although you literally have to wipe it with a spoon), but the strawberry seeds remain.
I had to fiddle with 1 liter for about 15 minutes. No rush.

The result is obvious! After filtration, even the color became more saturated.

And after a day in the refrigerator, Xu Xu was infused and did not even separate, as often happens with the original XuXu, which is supposed to be shaken before use.

This is such a delight - homemade Ksyu Ksyu. Even if you open a production facility, you can estimate the markup yourself, at the exchange rate of 22 euros per bottle.
But, lazy. And there will obviously be problems with the license.
So, make XuXu yourself, at home, as they say - you won’t regret it. Everything about everything - no more than an hour.
And the result is amazing, I’m not afraid of this word. I respect Ksyu Ksyu very much.
And it drinks “soon”, as it says on the bottle.

Bon appetit!

Using Xu Xu liqueur in cocktails

In terms of its composition, Ksyu Ksyu liqueur cannot be classified as a cream. Rather, it is a low-alcohol representative of liqueurs. It is consumed chilled (up to 10 degrees), often added to ice cream and fruit desserts, thanks to which the liqueur has become a popular summer drink.

Strawberry liqueur Xu Xu appeared not so long ago, namely in 1997, but it has already managed to conquer a huge audience and has gained great popularity among sweet alcoholic drinks. The technology for preparing the drink itself also played an important role in this, because sugar is not used at all for its production. But still, strawberry liqueur Ksyu Ksyu is considered a favorite in women's society, even despite this fact. And as the manufacturers themselves claim, this drink does not contain preservatives or dyes, although this can easily be doubted because the labels of some bottles contain E129, which is nothing more than a red dye. But this trifle has no effect on demand, because attractive bottles of XuXu liqueur are sold out of the counter in no time. And all thanks to the unique taste of the drink, pronounced strawberry tones. The fact that the drink contains alcohol is practically not felt, this is explained by the low strength of the liquor, only 15%.

For the representatives of the Bavarian company that created this wonderful product Georg Hemmeter, reputation is very important. In this regard, strawberry liqueur Xu Xu (XuXu) is made from ripe strawberries (its content often reaches 66%), high-quality vodka with the addition of a small amount of lime juice.

Proper use of Xu Xu liqueur

It is traditionally drunk undiluted as a shoter, having been cooled to 13 °C in advance. But beautiful ladies do not stop at this option of drinking liquor and try to make something good even better. Namely, they invent amazing cocktail recipes with the addition of Xu Xu liqueur. For these purposes, strawberry liqueur Xu Xu is often mixed with champagne or sparkling wine, the proportions of which depend on taste preferences.

If you are faced with the problem of purchasing this liqueur in a store, you can easily prepare it at home, because the main ingredients - strawberries and vodka - are not difficult to purchase. When it gets warmer, the first strawberries appear, it’s time to start making Xu Xu liqueur at home, because we only need berries, an alcoholic base and, of course, sugar. Also, to prepare it, it is not necessary to use fresh strawberries, because in the off-season they are very expensive; for this you can get by with frozen berries.

The original Xu Xu drink contains only 15% alcohol; it does not contain sugar, as the manufacturer claims; it itself is very thick, cloudy and sweet. We will prepare its analogue, but with added sugar.

There are a lot of recipes for making strawberry liqueur, we chose the simplest, most adapted and simplest.

Recipe for strawberry liqueur Ksyu Ksyu

To prepare you will need:

• Ripe sweet strawberries – 0.5 kg
• Vodka or diluted alcohol up to 40% - 0.5 l
• Sugar -250-300 g
• Settled water – 200 ml

Preparation:

To begin, wash the strawberries, remove the stem and cut in half; large berries can be cut into 4 parts. Place the strawberries in a liter jar and fill it with diluted alcohol and vodka. It is very important that the berries are covered with vodka. You can use more of it so that it reaches the edges of the jar. Add the juice of ½ lemon to the infusion, so our drink will be enriched with pleasant sourness.

Send the jar to the windowsill for 7-10 days, it would be great if the sun hits the infusion. Then carefully strain the infusion through cheesecloth, without squeezing the strawberries, then add sugar to the jar of berries. Seal the infusion and set it aside until we need it. As for the jar with sugar and strawberries, it will need to be shaken several times and left for 2-3 days, the sugar should completely dissolve. Drain the syrup, add 200 ml of water to the jar, stir and drain the remaining syrup again.

Mix the strawberry infusion with syrup, pour into a jar and leave to infuse again for 3-5 days. The strawberry liqueur will lighten during this time and must then be filtered. You will end up with a delicious liqueur of a beautiful “strawberry” color. Although its strength will not exceed 15%, the aroma and taste will be simply divine. Drink the liqueur chilled; it will also make a very tasty sorbet.
