XuXu Strawberry Liqueur Recipe
It is worth noting that this recipe does not claim to be the original recipe that the manufacturer puts in his bottles. But the taste of the resulting liquor is very similar to the original.
Ingredients
Strawberries – 0,5 kg
Vodka or alcohol (diluted to 40-45%) – 0,5 l
Sugar – 250-300 g
Lemon – 1 pcs.
Water – 200 ml
Method of preparation
We wash the strawberries, remove the stalks and cut in half (if the berries are large, then it can be quartered).
We fall asleep strawberries in a liter jar and fill it with vodka or diluted. It is important that all the berries are covered with vodka. You can take more of it and pour it on the very edges of the jar. We also add the juice of half a lemon to our infusion – it will give the drink a pleasant sourness.
We send the jar for 7-10 days on the windowsill, preferably with the sun. Then the infusion must be carefully drained through gauze, without squeezing the strawberries, and add sugar to the jar of berries. We cork the infusion and set it aside – we don’t need it yet.
A jar of strawberries and sugar should be gently shaken a couple of times and set aside for another 2-3 days until the sugar is completely dissolved. Drain the syrup, add 200 ml of water to the jar, mix and drain the remaining syrup again.
Mix strawberry infusion with syrup, pour into a jar and forget about it for another 3-5 days. During this time, the liquor will clear up and can be removed from the sediment, and then filtered.
As a result, you should get a delicious liquor of a beautiful “strawberry” color. Its strength will not exceed 15%, but the taste and aroma are simply divine. It is better to drink liquor chilled.
