A neighbour just gave us some blackberry liqueur and I am enjoying it on ice cream , and as a spritzer mixed with 7-up. Since I have some fresh raspberries I started some liqueur using your recipe this morning. Will be getting local cherries in a day or so and plan to make a batch using some of them. I am sure both versions will be delicious. Thanks, I always planned to make liqueur but didn’t realize it was so easy.
Beat in liqueur, salt and, if desired, food coloring., Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread half the filling to within 1/4 in. Refrigerate until filling is set, about 30 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. This is the first time I have ever attempted to make liqueur.
Jack and Coke Cocktail
It’s delicious sipped on its own, added to your favorite cocktail, or mixed with club soda. This one I can do as, being summer here, I should be able to find fresh raspberries. Can’t wait to be sipping this with some champers, thanks Barb!. I’ve never made my own liqueurs – I really should try it sometime. And as you say, cognac is just brandy from the Cognac region of France.
Liqueurs are the flavor background for many of our favorite cocktails. Did you know that you can many liqueurs at home? From fruity peach and cranberry liqueurs to bar essentials like amaretto and Irish cream, there is a great variety of homemade liqueur recipes to choose from. Instead, make a simple syrup of two parts sugar to one part water. Combine them in a saucepan and simmer them on the stove until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool to room temperature and then sweeten the infusion to taste.
Homemade raspberry vodka
One bottle can give you a variety of cocktails, from the black Russian to the midnight martini. The amount of sweetness you add to a liqueur is a matter of taste and will likely necessitate some experimentation on your part. Some people like making liqueurs that are bone dry while others want a pure sugar bomb.
You can also serve this as an after-dinner drink while you catch up with your friends. It also works really well as a celebratory drink for parties and holiday get-togethers. In comparison to this recipe, the original cosmopolitan is bland. It has a balanced combination of sweet and sour, and it is a great drink to serve before dinner. But with Clover Club Cocktail, this pink drink is also suited for gentlemen.

So whenever I think about making my own, I just take a walk instead. 🙂 Anyway, this is great — glad to see it return. Do the fact that the raspberries are frozen make any difference to your recipe because of extra water content from freezing.
Few drinks are as delicious as a Martini. What is better to enjoy this classic than with a delicious Chambord Raspberry Liqueur? This French-made liqueur is made with black raspberries and Cognac, which gives it a lovely raspberry flavor.
Without high-tech equipment, it's difficult to calculate the exact strength of a homemade liqueur that relies on maceration. The sugars added with the technique naturally decrease the vodka's alcohol content, and make it impossible to read on the average home-use hydrometer. However, you can assume that the liqueur falls between 15 percent and 25 percent ABV and at the upper end with a high-proof vodka. It's the same range you'll find among commercial raspberry liqueurs. Raspberry liqueur is a sweet berry-flavored distilled spirit that's easy to make at home. Chambord is the most popular commercial liqueur of this flavor (it's made with black raspberries), and crème de framboise is a sweeter version.
Measure out how much liquid you have left . Measure the alcohol content with your hydrometer and make note of the abv and volume. In the bottle, it’s a light red color with a pink tinge – giving cocktails a bright and beautiful appearance right off the bat.
Chambord is thick and sweet with a strong raspberry flavor and hints of vanilla and honey. Mathilde raspberry liqueur is a less expensive option with a lighter fruity flavor that includes some other berries in the mix. Bols, Dekuyper, Marie Brizzard, and Hiram Walker all offer affordable raspberry liqueurs, as well.
But typically framboise is a catch-all term for any beer, wine, or spirit made from raspberries without adding sugar. So it's not the same as the sweeter stuff you'd use to, say, make a Champagne cocktail. Add a 600g bag of frozen raspberries or 4 cups of fresh raspberries to each large mason jar .
I’ve been making my own liqueurs for years; after Limoncello opened the door, in rushed Cranberry,Coffee and Chocolate liqueurs. They all had one thing in common and that was vodka. Creating great tasting cocktails at home is easy once you have some recipes. Get our free book when you sign up for our newsletter. Give the liqueur a darker berry taste by replacing half of the raspberries with blackberries. You can make the liqueur in a single jar that's larger than one quart.
