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.
Muddle sugar and raspberries in a highball glass. I honestly dont know, but you could try! Maybe just soak the berries in the alcohol first and then drain and add sweetener after that to a small part of it. Oh em gee… Blackberries in this would be so amazing! We have a ton of blackberry bushes behind our new place.
Homemade Raspberry Liqueur Recipe
Seal the lid, then turn the jar upside down and give it a good shake to evenly distribute the sugar. Remove the lid and add the remaining vodka. The flavor and red color make them a fabulous addition to any traditional sippers. Remember to pour the other ingredients into the glass first, followed by the Champagne, to ensure that the ingredients will mix naturally. This drink pairs wonderfully with charcuterie platters, pastries, fresh fruits, light fish dishes, and hors d’oeuvres.
The thing that all of these liqueurs have in common is that they're relatively easy to make. Once you get started, you'll wonder why you haven't been making them all along. To inspire your creativity, let's look at a few tried and true liqueur recipes. Your new bespoke liqueur can be drunk now but will improve if you let it sit in the bottle for 2-3 months. The flavors will meld together, and the alcoholic edges will smooth out.
Is Raspberry Vodka a Good Substitute for Chambord?
Razzmatazz can also be added to cocktails such as the Espresso Martini or the Hollywood, which are made with Chambord and other rich, dark spirits. If you’re looking for a delicious and convenient substitute for Chambord, this is a great recipe for Razzmatazz. This is a simple recipe on how to make your own homemade raspberry liqueur out of sugar, fresh raspberries and vodka.
I waited the 2 months and tried it today. I would recommend this recipe and will be making it again. I used 3 1/4 cups vodka and 1 1/4 cups honey.
Recipe Variations
My daughter and I made this with blackberries, we just tried it and loved it. We’ve also made a strawberry and peach one and can’t wait to try those when they’re done. Thought I’d chime in and say don’t have to worry about that in a vodka environment 🙂 its just like keeping other alcohol out.
To make the liqueur, you'll macerate the raspberries in sugar and vodka for a couple of weeks, then strain out the berries. It's a simple process that's similar to fermentation. In the jar, the vodka transforms the sugars to create a beautiful red liqueur with the taste of sweet raspberries. An even quicker version will have a bottled raspberry liqueur ready to drink straight or in your favorite cocktails within a day. My dad has been making liqueur like this for years. He uses frozen or fresh berries, but only self picked – never store bought.
Pour vodka over all and close with lid. I use this Raspberry Liqueur in so many ways. I recently had a recipe suggested to me by a liquor brand that had sent me a bottle of Cognac so I was game and I tried it and it was good. It was more expensive and more complicated than my other efforts and quite frankly it just didn’t have the same freshness that I had come to expect.
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.
I strained them through a screen sieve but felt like I was leaving a lot of juice behind. I put the dregs in a thin cotton cloth, wrapped it up and squeezed the remaining juice from the berries. It would be tragic to leave all that deliciousness behind. After the 3 month rest, if the liqueur does not have good clarity, I I'll pour it through the cloth again. I've found cheesecloth has too open a weave and coffee filters get silted up. The perfectly balanced taste is thanks to the mixture of raspberry liqueur, vodka, and pineapple juice.
I’m always so impressed by your homemade liqueurs. After making your Limoncello, I now think I’ll be moving onto Chambord! I like the idea of mixing it with champagne as well. I just so happen to have some in the fridge right now.
Keep the container in a dark place at room temperature. If you don't have a dark cupboard in your house, put the bottles in a paper grocery bag and stir or rotate them a couple of times a day. They work hard to impart authentic, true-to-nature flavors into each of their expressions, and their Giffard Framboise Liqueur does not fall short. It offers a bold, intense profile that adds depth, character, and complexity to any cocktail, whether it’s happy hour at the bar or dessert time at home. However, I can only add less than one cup of 100 proof vodka per jar.
You may need to strain it more than once, until the liqueur is clear and free of any seeds or pulp. Funnel the raspberry liqueur into two 16-ounce (or four 8-ounce) bottles. Seal and store with other liquors in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Made with raspberry liqueur and vodka, this cocktail has a beautiful, dreamy pink color. The blend of raspberry liqueur and frosty pomegranate ice cubes is topped with delicious and fizzy sparkling wine and bubbly champagne.
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.
