Tips

– For the preparation, use fresh and ripe strawberries and wash them gently, removing the stalk only afterwards, to avoid damaging them.

– If you want to make your strawberry liqueur even more fragrant, also macerate a vanilla pod with strawberries and alcohol.

– To obtain a strawberry liqueur with a clear color, add the alcohol to the sugar syrup only when it is very cold. Otherwise you will get an opaque liqueur.

– If you want to make an alcoholic cocktail based on fresh strawberries, try the strawberry caipiroska, a fresh and refined drink ready in 5 minutes.

How to store Homemade Strawberry Liqueur

Once opened, you can store the strawberry liqueur in the refrigerator or freezer. It will not freeze thanks to the presence of pure alcohol and sugar.
