Infuse each flavor to suit your own preferences and if it ends up tasting too strong, you can always dilute it with additional liquor. If it’s just a little too sweet for your taste, a touch of citrus may be the perfect balancer. Combine ice, raspberry liquor, and RumChata in a cocktail shaker and shake until well-chilled.
I went with a Malbec because of its balance of deep earthy flavors with plum and raisin fruitiness. But feel free to experiment with other wines—a bold Zinfandel, maybe even a crisp and fruity white wine. For homemade raspberry liqueur, you'll need a good vodka, sugar, and raspberries. Frozen raspberries are the best option because they create a richer raspberry flavor; there's no need to thaw them.

Different fruits/additions take different times to release their flavors. Some release more over time, while others will spoil. Others will give a bitter aftertaste if you are not careful . It's worth hunting down any tips for what you are planning to use to save waste.
People that love me might say they were fine but they would be lying! Store the jars in a cool, dark place for two weeks, shaking every day or two. Pour half the vodka into each jar (about 1 1/2 cups per jar). Seal and shake well to dissolve the sugar. Check every 30 minutes and shake again until you're sure the sugar is completely dissolved.
Will Fruit Go Bad in Alcohol?
The palate follows with a strong flavor of sweet raspberry jam. It’s the perfect, quintessential raspberry spirit that holds its own in the glass while still adding deep and exciting flavors to your sweet berry cocktails. The nose is strong and bold, with strong notes of raspberry before anything else. It smells like dense, heavily flavored raspberry jam – not too sweet, but fresh and delicious. The palate, on the other hand, is wonderfully sweet and dessert-like.
One of the main things is to make sure the fruit is covered by the alcohol. Allrecipes is part of the Dotdash Meredith publishing family. This is the second batch from the fresh Raspberries I grow in Alaska. It looks so good already, can’t wait to try it when we can finally have a family get together. But the recipe says ‘add one 600g bag to each jar’.
Serving Your Homemade Liqueurs
This homemade raspberry liqueur has a shelf-life similar to other sugary liqueurs. There's no need to refrigerate it, and it's best to drink it within six months to a year. Depending on how well it's strained, you may want to shake it before pouring. Nearly any vodka works well with this liqueur recipe because the berries and sugar will soften a harsher taste.
Oh wow, I am in love with the color of this raspberry liqueur. It will add gorgeous color and flavor to any cocktail. Do also bear in mind Chambord in particular is a lot lower alcohol than this. Some bought liqueurs are diluted with raspberry juice or even just water. I'd suggest leaving it stronger and diluting as you use, as appropriate to what you are using it in. If you're thinking of making your own Chambord-like drink, this isn't going to be quite as complex a set of flavors.
You can also store it in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks. It will become mellower, especially if you used a high-proof vodka. Once the mixture has steeped for four weeks, strain it to remove the raspberry pulp and seeds. The mixture then sits for four weeks, during which the flavors from the raspberries and vanilla are infused into the vodka. Savor the flavor of in-season raspberries longer by turning them into a liqueur.
I’ve not used any of the vodka given to me so generously by brands I love; I’ll save those for another featured drink. What I used was Smirnoff; not just because it’s reasonably priced but also because they make a bottle of 100 proof vodka. Find it if you can as the higher the alcohol content, the better a job it will do of extracting the most from whatever fruit or citrus you use. I just finished soaking the raspberries.
Whether that's making punchy syrups like ginger syrup or flavored spirits like cranberry gin, it's fun to play around. And the results can be truly delicious. Limoncello is a very sweet lemon-flavored liqueur and it is used to create some delicious cocktails.
Amaretto is another liqueur that we use all the time in the bar. Without it, we wouldn't be able to make great cocktails like the toasted almond. It's a staple in the bar and you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to make at home. Put flavorings directly into the liquor, or any glass or earthenware jar/bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Infusing liquor is not an exact science, but more a matter of taste.
It also has hints of spice thanks to the added ginger beer. If you want mixed drinks that are light, bubbly, are not as boozy, then the Raspberry Bellini is the recipe for you. Basically, raspberry cocktails are a year-round cocktail option. Dried/dehydrated fruits are typically easier for the ethanol to extract flavour from, so definitely worth a try. You might find the infusion is a bit quicker too. Thanks, enjoy, and yes such a great color and flavor.
Yield is very similar to the amount you use; the sugar doesn’t add much to volume, so figure out how many based on how much alcohol you use. My husband loves this, I will definitely try it your way, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more recipes. Shake several times the first day until all of the sugar has dissolved.
