There are two looks on alcohol. Some people believe that moderate consumption of alcohol not only does not harm the body of an adult, but even useful. Others are sure that nothing but harm from drinking alcohol, even in small doses, can not be. As they say, "think for yourself, decide for yourself." Those who joined the first camp, firmly know - should use only high-quality alcohol, but because they often try to produce something special.
Simple and inexpensive
It is best to prepare a drink from alcohol. The quality of alcohol is easier to check than the quality of vodka. Pouring currant on alcohol turns aromatic, saturated, it's not a shame to treat even a very exacting critic, but we necessarily choose an alcoholic base from food raw materials.
Ingredients:
- spirit wheat purified - 0,75 l;
- currant black, taken from twigs - 1 kg;
- domestic white quality sugar - 0,3-1 kg;
- prepared (bottled, filtered, distilled) water - about 2 liters;
- glass jar with a volume of 3 liters.
Preparation
This recipe is very simple. Ingredients are calculated in such a volume that the strength of the final product is about 30-35 degrees, and the sugar content is given from the minimum (it turns out to be quite "male" unsweetened version) to the optimum for liqueur drinks.
So, we'll need 15 minutes for everything. We wash the currant, if there is rubbish, we remove it. We fall asleep berries in a 3-liter bottle, add sugar. You can mash the currant with sugar a little, then our pouring from the currant to alcohol will get very saturated. If this is not done, the ready-made liquid will be easier to strain. After that, pour in alcohol (you can measure it with a 750 gram jar) and top up the water. Close the plastic cover. All. Now we wait exactly 40 days, we keep our bottle in a dark place and periodically (once a week) we mix. Filter and enjoy - ready to flavor and moderately strong liqueur from the currant at home, the recipe is suitable for making a drink from any berry and berry assortment.
Complicating
We will tell you how to make a filling of black currant, if there is no opportunity to buy a good alcohol. It will take ordinary vodka. Pay attention, buy vodka should only checked, high quality, preferably, wheat and without additives.
Ingredients:
- quality vodka from grain alcohol - 2 bottles of 0.7 liters;
- black currant without twigs and leaves - 1 kg;
- white sugar, domestic is better - 2 cups;
- lemon with thin skin - 1 pc .;
- cloves - 5-6 inflorescences;
- mint (the upper part of the stem with 3-4 leaves) - 4-5 branches.
Preparation
The currant is washed, poured into a bowl and pressed into a gruel. Add the finely chopped lemon (remove all the bones), cover the sugar and mix. We shift the mass into a cleanly washed glass bottle, there we also send mint and cloves. Fill with vodka, close the lid. We are waiting for 2 weeks, periodically shaking the contents. Filter our filling and serve with a baked sheep's scoop or chopped cutlets and vegetables.
Pouring currant on vodka is very fragrant, although its strength is also about 28-32 degrees. Similar beverages, for example, the filling of red currants, raspberries or blueberries on vodka are prepared in the same way.
Low-alcohol beverage
Very popular and the filling of black currant (her recipe, however, is more difficult) without vodka.
Ingredients:
- berries with branches - ¾ volume of a glass bottle;
- domestic pure white sugar - ¼ of the volume of a glass bottle.
Preparation
Berries are not mine, we just remove the garbage, crush it slightly and put it in a bottle, pouring sugar. We close the neck with gauze and wait in a warm place, while our stock will ferment. As soon as there is a characteristic smell, put a water seal and wait for the end of fermentation. After that, we filter the filling, pour into clean bottles and stand for about a month in the basement.
