Rowan liqueur is a very worthy drink that has no similar analogues. Its taste and aroma is simply incredible.
The hardest part about cooking is the time it takes to stand. After all, a mountain ash drink becomes a real work of alcoholic art, only after a year, or even three.
As an alcohol base, you can use food alcohol, vodka and high quality moonshine. You can also experiment with cognac base.
They also make wine, tincture from mountain ash.
Original ashberry liqueur
Ingredients
Red rowan – 1 kg
Vodka – 800 ml
Granulated sugar – 500 g
Method of preparation
Rowan must be thoroughly washed, spoiled berries and excess debris removed, and slightly dried.
Spread the prepared berries in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven to 60 degrees – 12-15 minutes.
As soon as a strong aroma appears, and the mountain ash begins to release juice, we take the baking sheet out of the oven and cool the contents to room temperature.
Pour the baked fruits into a glass jar and pour in the alcohol base. We leave for one month in a dark place.
After 30 days, filter the rowan tincture into a clean container, and cover the berries with sugar. Shake well and transfer to a dark place at room temperature for 20-25 days.
Now we filter the rowan syrup and mix with the tincture.
We pass the finished drink through the filter, bottle it, cool it and serve it to the table.
The shelf life of the liqueur is 5-6 years, if stored in a refrigerator or cellar.
