To prepare dogwood liqueur, you will need ripe and large berries, a sweetener, strong alcohol and a little time.
You can also prepare the liqueur by fermentation, without adding an alcohol-containing component. The process is laborious, but the result is worth it.
Learn the recipe for wine and dogwood liqueur.
Pouring from dogwood on strong alcohol
In this recipe, sugar can be replaced with liquid honey. And instead of vodka, take diluted alcohol, high-quality moonshine without a strong odor, or inexpensive cognac.
Ingredients
Dogwood – 500 g
Vodka – 1 l
Sugar – 50-150 g (to taste)
Method of preparation
Dogwood, like any other berries, should be washed, the stalks removed, and small debris and spoiled fruits should be removed.
In an infusion jar, using a wooden spatula, grind the berries to a gruel state.
Pour in the prepared alcohol and leave for 20 days at room temperature in a dark place. Do not forget to shake the contents of the container once every 3-4 days.
After the specified time, the infusion must be filtered and the cake thoroughly squeezed.
Then pour the resulting drink into a clean container, add a sweetener and leave for another week in a cool place.
Before tasting, the liqueur should be passed through a cotton filter and bottled.
Shelf life – 5 years, the strength of the drink ranges from 28 to 33 degrees.
Dogwood pouring without the addition of alcohol
Ingredients
Dogwood – 1 kg
Raisins – 25 g
Water – 150 g
Granulated sugar – 500 g
Method of preparation
Dogwood does not need to be washed before cooking, but it is necessary to remove the bones from it.
We transfer the resulting pulp into a glass container, add unwashed raisins, water, and then add granulated sugar.
Mix thoroughly, cover the neck of the jar with gauze and leave in a dark place at room temperature for 3-5 days.
As soon as the first signs of fermentation appear, we replace the gauze with a water seal or a medical glove with a small hole in the finger.
In the same place, dogwood liqueur will ferment for about 1–1,5 months.
After the complete end of fermentation, the drink should be filtered, filtered and bottled.
But before trying the dogwood liqueur, it must be kept for 5-6 months in a cellar or refrigerator.
The strength of the finished product is low, only about 7-12 degrees.
