How to Make Strawberry Liqueur

  1. Gently wash and hull 2 pounds of fresh strawberries.
  2. In a clean quart-sized jar, combine the strawberries, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 cup (237ml) vodka.
  3. Secure the jar lid tightly and store in a cool, dark, and dry place for 2 weeks, shaking gently every other day.
  4. After two weeks, line a fine-mesh sieve with two layers of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the strawberry mixture through the sieve, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. In a clean quart-sized jar, combine the strained liquid, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) glycerin, and enough water to fill the jar almost to the top (leaving about an inch of headspace).
  6. Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place until all the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once the sugar has dissolved, carefully pour the liqueur into a clean bottle. Allow it to age for approximately 3 months in a cool, dark place to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. After aging, strain the liqueur through a coffee filter for a perfectly clear finish (optional).
