Cranberry and Raspberry Vodka

No comments
Fresh cranberries, a popular ingredient of the festive season, make this ruby-coloured liqueur the ideal Christmas drink or gift
 

Ingredients

  • 1 litre vodka
  • 600g fresh cranberries, roughly chopped (if you can't get fresh cranberries, use frozen, or substitute with any other seasonal berry)
  • 600g fresh raspberries
  • 900g sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

  1. Put everything into a glass container and stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Cover tightly and store in a cupboard for weeks.
  2. After three weeks, sieve the liqueur into a clean, sterilised container, pressing the fruits through with the back of a wooden spoon. Strain this sieved liquid through double muslin, squeezing the juice from the pulp.
  3. Leave for a couple of hours to allow sediment to settle, then filter again, this time through a coffee filter. This could take several hours, so top up the level whenever you pass by. You may need more than one filter. All this is necessary to avoid cloudy liquid. Pour into clean bottles.
