Plum liqueur

Plum liqueur is a fragrant and spicy dessert drink. It can be successfully combined with coffee and a variety of sweets. This product goes well with other spirits, citrus juices and milk.

To make homemade plum liqueur, you can use a variety of varieties of fruits. It is best to take elite brands of alcohol as a basis.

Technology for making plum liqueur at home

To prepare any liqueur, you need a base and a filler. As a basis, as a rule, either a neutral water-alcohol mixture or ready-made alcohol with a high percentage of alcohol is chosen.

A filler is any plant product. It can be fruit, berry, vegetable, flower or nut. In this case, we will talk about fruit, and specifically about plums.

To make a drink, you can use absolutely any variety of plums, except for wild ones. They will make the liquid sour, even if you add an extra portion of refined sugar to it.

The strength of homemade alcohol can vary from 15 to 70 percent. This is influenced by the chosen base for the drink, which can be rum, cognac, tequila, whiskey or any other alcohol.

The choice of strength should depend on the product being used as the filler. Specifically for plum liquor, any alcohol is suitable, the percentage of which varies from 40 to 45 degrees. The higher the quality of the base, the better the liquor itself will turn out.

Any liquor, in addition, which includes eggs or milk, must be transparent. If this fails, then it can harm human health.
