Raspberry vodka

As I mentioned a few days back, I had some vodka left over from making sloe vodka. A bit of a dig around in the freezer turned up a load of raspberries, and raspberry vodka was so popular last time I made it that it seemed like a good plan again. My recipe was:

  • 150g raspberries
  • 170g granulated sugar
  • 70cl vodka

It’s really just a case of dumping them all in the same container and shaking each day until the sugar has all dissolved, much the same as sloe vodka. After three months or so, strain off the liquid and bottle it. If you have enough, hide a few bottles where no-one else will look otherwise you’ll be beating them off with a stick.

Mine’s already progressing well.

The raspberries actually did pretty well this year and I have quite a few more in the freezer. It’s now quite tempting to buy enough vodka to fill up that demijohn and perhaps another as well.
