Description

Transform raspberries and vodka into a spiced liqueur fancy enough for your holiday cocktail party or to gift to friends and family. Plan ahead since it takes 3 to 4 weeks for the raspberries to steep into the vodka. Use whatever spices you'd like to create additional flavor.

  • 5 Packages (6 ounces each) Driscoll's Raspberries
  • 1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar
  • 12 Cups vodka, or enough to top off your vessels
  • Spices of choice: cinnamon stick, split vanilla bean, rosemary sprig, fresh bay leaf, peeled chunk of ginger, or lemongrass
  1. DISTRIBUTE berries amongst 6 sealable bottles, carafes, or large canning jars.
  2. ADD steeping spices of choice.
  3. ADD ¼ cup sugar to each bottle.
  4. FILL each bottle with vodka to just below one inch of rims.

    COVER bottles tightly.

    GENTLY shake bottles a few times.

    PLACE bottles in a cool, dark place (such as a pantry cupboard) where you might encounter them at least every few days.

    KEEP bottles at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks.

    GENTLY SHAKE every few days.

  5. WAIT for bottles to reach desired color and flavor.

    STRAIN liqueur through a mesh strainer.

    DISCARD solid ingredients.

    RETURN liqueur to vessels.

    ADD fresh raspberries to the liqueur, as desired, before gifting.

    STORAGE: The liqueur can keep at room temperature for up to a year. Aging will help to smooth the flavor. If fresh raspberries are added to the liqueur it must be refrigerated but will keep for several months.
