Blueberry liqueurs are rightfully considered one of the best. The unique color, taste and aroma will impress any connoisseur of alcohol.

Tips before starting
Blueberries do not have a strong characteristic aroma, like strawberries, for example, and various spices are often added to the drink to have a rich smell.

In order for the color of the liquor to have a deep shade, it is better to take fully ripened blueberries.
As an alcohol base, you can use vodka, high-quality moonshine or food alcohol.
