Among the features of the alcoholic beverage that comes from these berries, it should be noted the softness of taste, unsurpassed aroma, excellent compatibility with other ingredients in cocktails. Of course, the lazy can go to the store and buy raspberry vodka there, but believe me, it does not go to any comparison with a home-made product. Moreover, in the case of filling, you have more than one recipe and all the possibilities for a fine selection of ingredients and to obtain a result that exactly matches your taste. Get to know the variety of recipes closer.

Raspberry liquor

Prepare raspberries

So, option number one includes only two ingredients: raspberries and vodka. Raspberries for harvesting should ideally be from a home garden, the one that you ate in the summer from a bush. If you don’t have such wealth, but you want to make a drink, go to the market - the product from local grandmothers is also good. If the market is not lucky, the berry can be purchased at the supermarket, although here it can be lost in flavor due to storage and transportation conditions.

If such berries are caught, take it without a doubt.

Raspberry Varieties Meeker

Choose vodka

The second ingredient should also be selected with special care, the taste and aroma of the final product depends on the quality of vodka, in case of failure, instead of raspberries, you will only smell alcohol, which is little fun. The reference point can be vodka Standard, do not buy products cheaper and lower in quality if you want to get an acceptable result.

Choose quality vodka

  Cooking features

After the ingredients are purchased, we proceed to their processing. We pour two liters of raspberries, remove ponytails from the berries, so as not to spoil the taste of the drink with excessive astringency. We rinse and sort with special care - everything that is unripe and overripe, turned into porridge, damaged by insects and diseases should be filtered out. Now that only the best berries have been selected, pour them into a jar and pour vodka so that the liquid completely covers the raspberries. The mixture should be further mixed, after which the jar can be closed and put in a dry and warm place.

Vodka should be infused for at least 7 days, during this week, mix the contents of the jar every day, and after the expiration of the time try what you got. First of all, pay attention to the raspberry notes in the taste and the corresponding aroma, if these signs are not sufficiently pronounced, you should replace the berries (pre-processing according to the scheme above) and continue insisting until you are finally satisfied with the taste. At this stage, it remains to filter the liquid, for which, for example, a coffee filter is suitable. In the final version, which will be stored in the refrigerator, there should be no sediment or suspension.

Please note that the specific proportions of vodka and raspberries are not contained in the recipe, because there is no comrade in taste and color. In this case, the final result can be greatly affected by both the quality of the original ingredients and your diligence in mixing. At the initial stage of mastering the recipe, practice small trial volumes, so you can calculate the proportion that you personally like. Regarding the options of "semi-dry" and "semi-sweet" tinctures, the proportions do not affect the way the original sweet raspberries. Check the berries when buying, because sugar will not solve the problem in the process of preparing the liquor. If the end result does not suit you for sweets, we recommend using such a liquor as part of cocktails, and for another to make another one. Finally, there are two ingredients in this drink and two should remain in your experiments (in various 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 in appearance.

  Sugar Alternatives

Of course, lovers of home-made strong drinks could not limit themselves to one option, because berries and fruits can turn into alcohol by fermentation, by mixing with pure alcohol and many other liquids. We will not limit ourselves to fantasy and we will consider another option for vodka, however, 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, drain the remaining water. It is not worth it to separate or rinse the crushed raspberries, which have started up the juice, because we will turn the whole berry mass into porridge. Pour raspberries into a jar, squeeze (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, according to the terms, the period of infusion takes 8-10 days, the place should be sunny. It is accompanied by insisting by periodic mixing of the contents.

   Raspberry
   Water    Vodka
   Sugar

Withstanding deadlines, you can proceed to filtering the liquor. For this, as a rule, gauze is used, folded in several layers, do not forget to squeeze the cake. When the infusion is properly filtered, syrup is added to it (200-300 milliliters of water and sugar), after which the components are mixed and the next waiting period begins.

At this stage, you will have to wait two to three weeks, monitor the drink all the time, filter the precipitate that may form in the process. Your expectation and diligence will be generously rewarded, according to this recipe you will get a strong drink at the exit, but with a very mild taste, where practically no alcohol is actually felt.

The cake obtained in the process of filtration and extraction can be used repeatedly to prepare raspberry tincture according to another recipe, for example, on the principle of a simple pouring of vodka.

Another recipe involves adding sugar in its pure form, without boiling the syrup. In this case, initially the berries are placed in a sunny place and wait until fermentation begins, with the material softened and acquired a specific aroma, then they do so. Put a layer of berries in a jar, pour them with sugar, put another layer of raspberries on top and pour over when you find the number of layers sufficient, fill the mixture with vodka until completely covered. The term of infusion is 10 days, at the end the liquid is filtered (it is used as usual with gauze, cotton wool).

Gauze is used as a liquid filter

I have one more recipe for the especially patient. In this case, very ripe raspberries are taken (300 grams, choose varieties more careful), high-quality vodka (half a liter, you can focus on the same Standard), purified, 100 grams of sugar and water. The preparatory phase includes cleaning from insects and stalks, so that only juicy berries remain. They, in turn, are washed in a colander with tap water (in order not to damage the berries, put gauze on the bottom), at the end of the procedure, wait until all the water drains. Then raspberries are poured into a jar and poured with vodka to a level two centimeters above the berry mass.

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

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

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

As you can see, there are plenty of options with vodka, but it is not necessary to be limited to them, raspberries can be fermented without adding alcohol-containing products, or berries can be insisted on liquids other than vodka. Each 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

  We prepare liquor for alcohol, cognac and moonshine

In this case, the alcohol for filling is taken especially strong - either pure alcohol in 96%, or diluted to 65%. It is recommended to choose berries with a sufficient sugar content, ripe and already soft (in this case, they will not have to be crushed additionally).

Raspberry Alcohol

Rinse the raspberries and put it in a jar, in which you will continue to insist, pour alcohol to completely cover the berries. Close and place in a cool place that the sunlight does not reach. It is necessary to withstand the filling for a month, after which it can be drained 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 much.

Moonshine filling

Even more unusual options are moonshine and even brandy. For a drink on moonshine after washing, the berries should be turned into mashed potatoes (you can use a meat grinder or a rolling pin / pestle). The classic volume in this case is a three-liter jar, where two liters of raspberries are poured, 3 tablespoons of natural honey are added and the remaining volume is filled with moonshine (45% of the fortress). The availability of the infused product is determined by eye, a clear sign that the filling is ready is the discoloration of raspberries. Now it can be filtered and filtered, use gauze folded several times and a cotton pad.

Raspberries with cognac

For brandy filling, the proportions 0, 75: 1 are used, where a large measure refers to cognac. No sugar-containing products are added (neither honey, nor syrup) in order to maintain a noble combination of cognac and raspberry flavor. The preparation process is close to the first two-ingredient version of pouring on vodka - pour raspberries into a jar, pour it with an alcohol-containing liquid (cognac) to a level of 2-3 centimeters on top of the berries, tightly close and put it in a warm place. Waiting periods are 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 alcohol component of the beverage, and medicinal - raspberries, which are so rich in vitamins and other important biologically active substances, are responsible for this part. Feel free to offer raspberry drinks to your guests when you collect them at the table, just warn your friends about moderation. Given the pleasant and sweet taste of the drink, you can forget about its strength and drink too much. In autumn and winter, when you don’t want to go to anyone anymore and there is not enough heat, take out the raspberry liquor and use it to warm yourself. A good reason for use and a cold, cough or sore throat. The prophylactic use of berry tincture contributes to a general increase in immunity and purification of blood vessels, preventing the possible formation of sclerotic plaques. The reason for this action is the chemical composition of raspberries, which includes "a lot of fiber, vitamins A, B, C, copper, iron, magnesium, essential oils, zinc, cobalt, as well as pectin, tannins and nitrogenous substances." Salicylic acid, which is contained in this product, will help reset the temperature for colds. After consulting a doctor, raspberries can also be used to treat kidneys, the gastrointestinal tract, and anemia.

A good reason to use raspberry juice is a cold

However, there are contraindications to the use of raspberries both raw and in bulk. They are associated with possible allergic reactions to red berries, raspberries and patients with jade or gout, constipation, a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer are not suitable. For liver problems, you should also be moderate in eating raspberries. Finally, all contraindications specific to alcohol are applicable to the filling - pregnant, lactating women, children should refrain from drinking.
