Bursting with strawberry flavor, this strawberry liquor requires only a few ingredients and some infusion time to come together. It can be served on its own as a refreshing drink or be mixed into cocktails for intense strawberry flavor.
To make the strawberry liquor, you combine sliced strawberries into a jar with sugar, water, and vodka, and set it aside in a dark location to infuse for 7 days. Finally, you strain it to separate the liquid from the solids before bottling it and storing it. The results are a beautiful pink liquid that has a bright refreshing taste from the strawberries.
What is Strawberry Liquor?
Strawberry liquor is a slightly sweet and tart flavored liquid that is infused with the taste of fresh strawberries. Usually, it uses a neutral-tasting alcohol like vodka, which infuses with the strawberries over several days. The liquor can then be served in small glasses on its own, blended into cocktails, or used in desserts.
Pro Tips
- Choose ripe unblemished strawberries for the best results.
- Make sure the strawberries are entirely covered by vodka which will prevent spoilage as the vodka infuses with the strawberry flavors.
- Cover it with a dark cloth to prevent light from getting into the mixture during the infusion period.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to separate the liquids from the solids.
