We will look at how to make currant liqueur at home using two proven recipes. Any variety is suitable, but you cannot mix red and black berries in the same drink. Before cooking, the fruits should be separated from the ridges and carefully sorted, removing spoiled and moldy ones, otherwise the taste of the drink will deteriorate. The alcohol base (alcohol diluted to 40 degrees, vodka, double-distilled moonshine or cognac) must be of high quality. There are no other requirements, you just need to adhere to the technology.

Compound:

• black or red currant berries (separately) - fresh, dried (half as much as in recipes) or frozen (defrost first, then use together with the released liquid);
• currant leaves – improve aroma;
• sugar - can be replaced with liquid honey or fructose;
• alcohol (vodka);
• water – reduces the strength and is needed for making syrup.

When using honey instead of sugar, in order to preserve the beneficial substances, do not bring the syrup to a boil, but heat it to a maximum of 40°C and stir until the honey is completely dissolved in the water.

Attention! When infusing, it is important to choose the right container; the alcohol base should cover the layer of berries by at least 2-3 cm; if necessary, pour in more alcohol.

Despite the fact that the given recipes for currant liqueurs differ only in the proportions of ingredients, the taste of the drinks is very different.

Regular readers probably already know that I dream of having my own wine cellar. And this is not because I love alcohol, but simply because I love guests. And especially to amaze them with your delicious drinks. Of course, my experience is small, only about 20 years, this is not all the time I was interested in and did, namely work experience.

In my practice, I produce both low-alcohol drinks and moonshine, but most of all I like to make exclusive drinks, in the form of liqueurs, tinctures, or just cognacs.

Not all recipes are on the blog, but there is an idea to post more recipes, both for myself and for you. Moreover, I haven’t tried all the recipes from my notebook. And I’m also good with imagination, I can combine and come up with my own.

I didn’t see this recipe anywhere, but I came up with it myself. And I did it several times to adjust the ingredients to suit my taste. And this is not a figment of the imagination, but a modified and adjusted recipe through practical preparation. And my taste is already trusted not only in our family, but also by friends and acquaintances who have tried our drinks.

Homemade blackcurrant liqueur

What I like about this recipe is that you can prepare it not only during the berry season, but also in winter, using frozen currants.

• 0.7 liter jar of currants
• 0.7 liter jar of sugar
• 0.8 liter jar of water
• 1 liter of vodka

Liqueur recipe

1. First of all, you need to prepare the berries. Wash and sort them from stalks and debris.

2. Fill the berries with water and send them to the fire.

3. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.

4. Strain through a colander lined with gauze in 2 layers. We just strain without grinding. We squeeze it out.

5. Place the strained broth on the fire.

7. Bring to a boil and skim off foam if desired. I personally take it off, although we still defend the liquor afterwards. Then turn off the heat and leave to cool.

8. When the syrup has cooled a little, pour it into a jar in which the liqueur will be infused.

9. I pour out the vodka. Instead of vodka, you can use moonshine or alcohol. For example, I use alcohol diluted to 40%. I specially bought 10 liters of alcohol before the harvesting season. I have already prepared strawberry, wild strawberry, and blueberry liqueur. There are also plans for raspberry and cherry.

10. Let it sit for at least two or three weeks so that the vodka becomes friends with the syrup. After this time, the smell of alcohol will go away, and only the aroma of currants will remain. Ideally, let it brew for several months.

I liked the cherry and blackcurrant liqueur the most. But this year we have significantly expanded the range, and now it’s difficult to say. Subscribe to our channel, and closer to winter I will conduct a tasting of already infused liqueurs, and I will definitely give my assessment.
