Scrumptious Strawberry Liqueur 3 cups fresh strawberries, ripe and unblemished 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 cups 100% proof vodka 1 cup water 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon orange zest 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest Have on hand: Colander, cheesecloth 1. Wash and stem the berries. 2. In a bowl crush the berries and sugar together. 3. Let stand for 1 hour. 4. Transfer mixture to a clean 2 qt container. 5. Add vodka, water, lemon juice, and zests. 6. Cover and let stand in a cool dark place for 2 days, shaking several times each day. 7. Press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, discard solids. 8. Transfer the liqueur to a clean container. 9. Cover and let stand for 1 week. 10. Filter into a decorative bottle with a tight fitting lid. 11. Age for at least 1 month before serving. Notes: The Strawberries – It's ALL about the strawberries so don't be using supermarket strawberries! Wait until July or August and buy them at a local farm stand. Ask for strawberries that are super ripe, almost too ripe. They will often sell them to you half price because they're harder to sell. You'll want to make the liqueur that very day because they will mold very quickly. Be sure to cut off any mushy or moldy parts as these will ruin your recipe. Vodka: Don't buy the cheapest stuff which tastes bad, or the most expensive as the flavor is wasted. Buy the mid level stuff and look for it on sale. I got mine for $9.50 on sale for 1.75 liters. Getting the Strawberries out of the liquid – Run the liqueur first through a colander which will catch 90% then use Cheesecloth to catch the rest of it. Place the cheesecloth loosely in the colander over a bowl, clip the cloth to the sides, and pour the liqueur slowly through. Rinse out the cheesecloth regularly. If you want the liqueur to be perfectly clear run it once more through a coffee filter which will be VERY slow going. Personally, I like it to have some natural strawberry stuff left in there – I don't want it to look like Kool-Aid. For approximately 400 +/- ounces use these amounts instead: 1 flat of strawberries, or 8 quarts One 5 pound bag of white sugar Two 1.75 liters bottles vodka 1 refill of the 1.75 liter bottle of spring water (tap OK too) 8 tsp lemon juice (I used bottled) *I didn't bother with the zest Optional – you can also add glycerin if you wish. This is a liquid that's available at places that sell cake decorating supplies. It gives the liqueur more "mouth feel." I tossed in a small bottle only because I had some on hand, but don’t feel like you need to. Have two plastic storage bins handy to put all the liquid into and to transfer back and forth - the kind you can use later to store stuff in your closet I sure wish others would post thier references.
