Warm days have come! It remains to wait a little longer and you will be able to enjoy fresh strawberries, which expire so quickly: just a month or two. Fortunately, you can close several jars of jam to remember spring days all year round. And in addition to this, there is another great option – to prepare the infusion at home.
Today, the drink known in our country as “Fragolino” is particularly popular . A cool thing with a strawberry flavor. Here, however, sometimes problems arise with the quality: people began to fake clever drinks! We know how to solve this delicate issue. Homemade liqueur according to our recipe will put everything in its place.
INFUSION IN HOME CONDITIONS
The main task is to obtain good food alcohol. Then it needs to be diluted with quality purified water one to one to get about 50 degrees. You can also mix it with purchased vodka, but you know what it is. Why take risks and do anything – everything should be at the highest level! So, let’s check the ingredients.
YOU WILL NEED:
- 500 g of strawberries
- 2 cups of cane sugar
- 50 ml of lemon juice
- 250 ml of diluted alcohol
- 250 ml of water
Preparation of strawberry liqueur at home:
Let’s prepare strawberries. Wash the berries thoroughly, remove all the stems and leaves, then dry them properly on paper towels. Beat the strawberries until pureed with a blender. After that, the puree must be rubbed through a sieve.
Cane sugar is said to be less sweet than sugar beet sugar. If you are not afraid of the nauseating taste, you can use our white one. Pour a glass of boiling water into the sugar and put it on fire. Stir constantly so that the sugar is completely dissolved.
When the resulting syrup cools, add lemon juice to it and mix with strawberry puree, then mix with diluted alcohol. Pour the future infusion into a prepared container, for example, a jar.
The infusion should be infused for three to four days at room temperature and under supervision so that no one interferes with it prematurely. It makes sense to periodically shake the sediment. It remains to pour the finished infusion into bottles and hide them in the refrigerator. If necessary, filter the infusion to exclude the presence of any sediment.
Tip: how to prepare a drink that will decorate the famous “Fragolino” in two seconds?
To do this, you just need to mix equal portions of liqueur and carbonated mineral water. If this consistency seems strong, then add a few ice cubes to the drink. In hot weather it will be more than appropriate!
Pouring at home is ready! It should be used with due caution and in reasonable quantities and only in the circle of close friends.
We wish you a good mood! And don’t forget to share the recipe with your friends.
