Strawberry Liqueur

Homemade Strawberry Liqueur Recipe Made with Vodka

This is a great way to use that one cup of strawberries that you don’t know what else to do with. I like using vodka that is about 80 proof and above. The higher the proof the more it will extract flavor from your fruit. It is also important to use a mid-grade vodka, nothing in a plastic bottle. This will make the finished product taste the best.

My recipe fits a 32 oz. liqueur bottle perfectly. I like to reuse some of the vodka bottles that I have turned into a vanilla extract or cinnamon liqueur.

Make sure you shake your jars of vodka and cut up strawberries at least once a day. If the jars leak too much with shaking then use a butter knife to mix up the fruit and bottom of the jar. The color of the strawberries will start to be drawn out and into the vodka as the days go by. The cut strawberries will also float to the top of the vodka by day 2 or 3. It is normal so don’t worry.
