XuXu liqueur was created especially for those who cannot resist a fragrant fruit and berry alcoholic drink. The German company that produces this liqueur is responsible for the high quality of its products, made from exclusively natural ingredients. That is why its popularity is growing every year and expands its distribution area.

In the article:

"XuXu" - what does the name mean

The very name of the liqueur attracts attention. "XuXu" (ksuksu) in German means the same as "kiss kiss" in English, that is, a kiss. Perhaps this is what played a role in the rapid expansion of the target audience of the drink, because its popularity spread throughout Europe in just ten years. Today, the company produces about five million bottles every year.

Official estimates also speak about the quality of the liqueur. Thus, within the framework of the international competition called the World-Spirits Award, held in Austria, XuXu won the Double Gold award, gaining ninety-six points out of a hundred possible.

Features of making liquor

The production of XuXu strawberry liqueur is currently handled by a company called Georg Hemmeter GmbH, whose main building is located in Germany. A peculiarity of the production is the unusual base that is used to create this drink - strawberry puree with a small amount of lime juice. Due to this, the liqueur has not only an unusual sour-strawberry taste, but also a special bright red color. To achieve the latter characteristic, food coloring E129 is added to a high concentration of berries.

By the way, in the manufacture of XuXu liqueur, sugar is not used at all, since at the output the bottle of liqueur consists of sixty-six percent fruit, which already gives a pleasant taste and sweetness.

This drink is not often found in a regular supermarket, so some experimenters try to make XuXu strawberry vodka at home. In theory, this is not at all difficult if you follow the technology and follow the following recipe:

1. Good, juicy strawberries are mixed with quality vodka in a ratio of two to one in a liter glass container. It is important that the liquid completely covers the berries. The juice of half a lime is also added there for taste.
2. The bank is sent to a sunny place, for example, on a windowsill, for a week. After this time, the tincture is carefully filtered through cheesecloth, and granulated sugar is added to the jar with the remaining strawberries. Next, the container is gently shaken several times and left for another couple of days until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Next, the syrup is drained and mixed with two hundred milliliters of water. A filtered tincture is added to it and sent to settle for about five more days. During this time, the liquid should become light.

The final step is the final filtration of the tincture.

The result is a fresh, aromatic drink with a liquid consistency and a sweet aroma, which is popularly called XuXu vodka. You can use it either neat or as a dressing for fruit or ice cream.

How to Drink XuXu - Several Recipes

If cocktails are not your favorite way of drinking sweet alcoholic beverages, then the question of what to drink with strawberry XuXu liqueur is very easy to solve. The main condition for a pleasant pastime in his company is to cool the liquor to ten degrees. If there is a need to reduce the strength of the drink, although it occurs extremely rarely, because 15% is very little, you can dilute the liquor with a small amount of strawberry juice. In order not to spoil the impression of high-quality alcohol, it is better to make juice yourself from juicy fresh strawberries or choose a packaged one, but of high quality.

Option 1: Classic strawberry liqueur at home

Strawberry liqueur is a great drink on its own, but also a wonderful ingredient in a variety of desserts, cocktails and other drinks. Liqueur is very easy and simple to make at home. This is best done in summer, when there is an abundance of fresh berries. Frozen strawberries will make the liqueur not so tasty, the aroma will change. The drink is based on vodka and sugar. To reduce the strength of the liquor and achieve acceptable values, we use purified water. Chlorine should not be in it.

Ingredients

• 300 g strawberries;
• 150 g sugar;
• 250 ml of vodka;
• 100 ml of water.

A step-by-step recipe for a classic strawberry liqueur

We wash the strawberries, put them on a napkin and leave to dry. Then we pinch off the ponytails. We cut large berries into four parts, all other copies in half.

Pour strawberries into a glass jar, fill with vodka, close and put in the refrigerator. We insist for exactly five days, shake it periodically. Gradually, the strawberries will give color to the vodka, and the berries themselves will become noticeably paler than they were.

After five days, pour the vodka through a strainer into another jar, close it, put it in the refrigerator. Add granulated sugar to the strawberries, shake, leave to melt and dissolve for another two or three days. Then we discard the berries and drain the syrup through cheesecloth, squeeze the strawberries. We throw away the leftovers, we don't need more berries.

All that remains is to mix the strawberry vodka with the resulting sugar syrup. Next, dilute the liquor with purified water, shake vigorously and you're done! We use the liquor right away, but it is better to put it in a cool and dark place, after a week the taste will be much better. Do not forget to use a tight lid so that alcohol vapors do not escape.

All the granulated sugar in the strawberries should dissolve, so it is advisable to shake the jar of berries several times a day.

• 500 ml of vodka;
• glass of water;
• 320 g sugar.

How to quickly make strawberry liqueur at home

We sort out the strawberries, pour into a colander and rinse under a tap or shower. If the berries are very ripe and soft, then just dip the colander into a bowl of water several times, and then let stand for a while and dry.

Since we have a shortened technology for making strawberry liqueur, we chop the berries finely. Pour into a jar, pour vodka. We leave it in the sun, you can put it on the windowsill, shake it periodically so that the taste and color come out of the pieces. We keep it for three days.

As soon as the vodka turns pink, you can strain, squeeze the berries well, since they will not be reused.

Mix water with sugar, put on the stove and let it boil well. If there is a gray foam on the syrup, then remove it. We leave to cool.

Combine our strawberry vodka with cooked sugar syrup. Shake well and use the liquor as directed. Or we send it to the refrigerator for a while. It is believed that any alcohol should be infused after mixing.

If you do not need a very sweet liquor, then the amount of sugar can be reduced by about 25-30%, but not more. Still, this drink should have a slightly sugary taste.

Add vodka to lemon and strawberries, put on a tight lid, send it to the refrigerator for a week. Let the alcohol infuse, absorb the aroma and flavor of the strawberries, and take the essential oils from the zest.

Add water to sugar, stir, put on a small fire and melt. After dissolving the sand, add a little fire, bring the syrup to a boil, cool.

We drain the vodka from the can, it is better to immediately do it in a strainer. Squeeze the berries to extract all the juice. If the tincture turns out to be cloudy, then it is advisable to strain it again. Or we leave it alone, then we drain it from the formed sediment.

Pour the infused vodka into the syrup or vice versa. We mix the liquids, send them to a bottle or to a decanter with a sealed lid. We put the liquor in a cool place.

It is important to use good berries for the preparation of liqueurs without traces of rot, mold. Otherwise, the alcohol will absorb them, and the drink will have an unpleasant aftertaste.

Pour cream liqueur with strawberries into sealed bottles, let stand in the cold for a week. After that, the drink can be consumed. If suddenly the sweetness seems a little, then you can add a little more powdered sugar, but dissolve thoroughly.

Very often, such cream liqueurs are prepared in a simplified way based on condensed milk, sometimes it is diluted with whole milk or low-fat cream. After adding the tincture, a rich and sweet drink is obtained, additional sugar is usually not required.
