The recipe for a delicious cherry liqueur. Cherry liqueur for alcohol - benefits and unique taste

Intense tart taste, beautiful bright ruby \u200b\u200bcolor, noble aroma - this is all about the world-famous cherry tincture. There are several basic recipes for homemade cherry liqueur: classic alcoholic drink and alcohol-free tincture.

Selection of berries

There are no strict requirements for the choice of berries, almost any is suitable. The main thing is that the fruits are ripe, juicy, aromatic and intact.

The ideal option is sweet and sour varieties. The fruits are used fresh, frozen or dried. , available all year round, are much better suited for billets than fresh ones (with the exception of naturally fermented liqueurs).

The seeds give the finished tincture a light astringency (pleasant almond flavor). Depending on the recipe and taste, the seeds are retained or removed. At home, the bones can be removed using an ordinary safety pin.

Did you know? A significant amount of hydrocyanic acid and cyanide is concentrated in cherry pits. With prolonged contact with alcohol, these substances have a toxic effect on the human body.

How to make an alcoholic cherry liqueur at home

To make a classic cherry tincture, first of all, you will need sugar and alcohol. Berries insist on any strong alcohol - vodka, cognac, moonshine or alcohol.

Do not forget to pay attention to the quality of the alcohol. Try to use alcohol that is not the cheapest. Vodka must be free of any additives. It is better to take coarse granulated sugar, since it should not dissolve too quickly.

So let's figure out how to make a flavored cherry liqueur at home.

List of required ingredients

We will need:

1 kg fresh or frozen cherry berries;
320 g sugar;
0.45 l / 450 g of alcohol (vodka, brandy, moonshine or 45% alcohol).

Cooking process

First you need to dry up the cherries. We spread fresh or frozen fruits in an even layer and leave in the sun for several days. Another option is to bake the fruit in the oven for 5–6 hours at 60–80 ° C. Thanks to drying, excess moisture leaves the berries, making the tincture watery. However, this step is optional, you can skip it.
We extract the seeds from the fruit.
Distribute the pulp into the jars, add sugar and leave for several hours until the fruits give juice.
Pour alcohol into the prepared jars, close the lids, shake well and transfer to a shaded and warm (15–25 ° C) place for 15–18 days.
Next, filter the resulting liquid through cheesecloth several times until it becomes transparent.
We bottle the finished tincture. You need to store the drink in a cool dark place. The shelf life of the blank is 3 years.

Important! It is advisable not to wash the cherries. Also, try to avoid harvesting immediately after rain. If the dirty fruits had to be washed, treat the berries with purchased wine yeast (in no case pressed or dry baker's).

Cherry liqueur without vodka and alcohol

Sometimes cherry liqueur is made no vodka or alcohol added. Instead of alcohol, use ordinary purified water. Manufacturing technology is more complicated than in the first case. The resulting drink resembles liqueur wine. At the same time, there is no smell of alcohol, and the taste of the drink is much softer (the strength does not exceed 12%).

What you need for cooking

For liqueur without vodka and alcohol you need:

3 kg of cherry fruits;
1.2 kg of sugar;
400 ml of water.

How to make a drink at home

Ripe cherries should be pitted.
Pour 300 g of sugar into the bottom of a three-liter jar. Next, alternating, lay the layers of cherries and the remaining sugar.
Pour water into the prepared jar. Water is poured not up to the neck, but up to the shoulders, since foam and gas are released during the fermentation.
We put on a medical glove on the neck of the jar. We fix the glove with a rope or a rubber ring. In one of the fingers of the glove, you must first make a small hole with a needle. Instead of a glove, it is allowed to install a water seal.
Transfer the workpiece to a dark and warm (18–28 ° C) room or cover it with a thick cloth. After 2–3 days, foam should appear. The glove should inflate slightly and the water seal should start to bubble. These signs indicate that the fermentation process is normal.
The filling usually wanders for about 25–55 days. Then the glove deflates, and the airlock stops bubbling. When almost all the foam disappears, this is a signal that you can proceed to the next phase.
Pour the liquid into a new bottle, trying to get rid of the remaining cherry pulp.
We settle the liquid for 2 days in a hermetically sealed container.
We filter the liquid through several layers of gauze.
Pour the workpiece into bottles (preferably from dark glass), close tightly with corks.
We transfer the workpieces to a refrigerator or cellar with a temperature of 5-15 ° C. To improve the taste, we keep the liqueur under such conditions for about 50 days.
Store your cherry drink in a cool and dark place. The shelf life of the liqueur is no more than 3 years.

Important! In order not to infect cherry juice with mold or other microorganisms, it is necessary to sterilize the jars with boiling water. In addition, carefully sort the berries, getting rid of the moldy fruit. All work is carried out only with washed hands.

Recipe for the lazy: the simplest cherry liqueur

The next homemade cherry liqueur is made according to a proven and simple recipe. In this case, the removal of pits from the cherry fruit is not required. In addition, the manufacturing process is so simple that it requires a minimum of your time and effort.

Ingredients (for a three liter jar):

We filter the finished drink through several layers of gauze.
We pour the drink into bottles and close tightly with corks. Store bottles in a cellar or refrigerator. The shelf life is more than 3 years.

Cherry ... Old Russian, because the recipe, although very old, is not aging at all. Because it is approaching, and in some places the cherry season has already begun. This season is not long.

If, of course, you cook enough of it.

Ingredients for Cherry Pouring:

Recipe "Cherry Pouring":

Of course, this story, whatever one may say, is still an interpretation of an old Russian recipe. Remember the scene in the new film based on Pushkin's "The Young Lady - the Peasant Woman". This scene is brilliantly played by Lanov and Kuravlev. They sit at the table and treat themselves to some liqueurs. ... That's from those times. BUT!!! Of course, somewhat tailored for modern affairs.
But one thing is invariably - it is better for those in a hurry to simply dilute the vodka with cherry synthetic syrup and consume it. Our liqueur is a leisurely business. For six weeks calculated.
So.
The cherry is ripe. We select the most delicious, the most ripe.

Of course, we wash it and sort it out - we don't need rotten berries. We are going to drink the tincture ourselves and treat our friends. So we approach responsibly.

We fall asleep berries in jars. So, or rather so much - for a "lady's" consistency.

And this is "half-and-half". You get a "male" version. Not very strong, but about thirty degrees will definitely come out.

And then we fill it with ... either good vodka, or half-and-half alcohol with diluted well or spring water. Just don't need a tap. Do not spoil the product.
This bottle contains this very good vodka. "Absolute", which we now produce in this very Chernogolovka.
Yes…. Do not use pure alcohol under any circumstances. To put it simply and roughly - burn this delicious berry. Burn out all enzymes. Generally speaking - the very thing that is needed (already tested) of good quality moonshine. Fortress - thirty-eight degrees.

Fill so that the berries on a finger and a half are closed with liquid.
I'll put in a few more words here. This photo shows a variant of the ladies' liqueur. More berries, less vodka.

And this is already "half-and-half". That is, there are fewer berries, and maybe more fuel. And the result will be a little stronger, I repeat. Harder. Although the taste is excellent.

And we remove it for two weeks. All these jars. Can be kept at room temperature, can be taken to the cellar. Don't forget to stick the stickers. With bookmark date. It will not be superfluous.
This will not change the results.

And now - in two weeks.

As you can see, in addition to the color, the liquid level has already dropped. The berries were absorbed and the juice was given. And they themselves swelled, saturated with life-giving moisture. She, this moisture, will still be useful to us.

We merge the resulting product with the help of this device and set it aside. The same cellar.

The berries will turn pale after a two-week vodka bath. Still would! Two weeks of drunkenness….

And half-and-half like this.

They could not resist. We tried it. There is already both taste and aroma. It, of course, can be stopped. BUT!!! Firstly, we strive for the authenticity of the recipe, and secondly, we do it "for the ladies" too, and the resulting product is still quite strong and not very sweet. That is, even sourish. Although saturated.
And the halving is completely ... close to the original product.

And now we take granulated sugar. At the rate of approximately four hundred grams per can. Want it sweeter? Then take more. In general, adjust to your liking.

And they fell asleep in jars of berries. There is an opinion that sugar should be left on top. He kind of dissolves and settles. But! I went the other way. Took it and shake it up to mix the sugar with the berries.

Pour less sugar into the "half". There is no need for excessive sweetness.

These jars, filled with sugar with berries, we leave alone ... also for two weeks.

And in two weeks. We took out cans from the basement, into which we poured sugar.
By the way, I walked them every two or three days, shaking them up. No fanaticism, but thorough. It may not have been necessary. But what has been done has already passed.
And this syrup was poured through a strainer.
Here he is. We tried it too. Sweet, dog. But the taste of alcohol is also felt. Sugar pulled vodka juices from cherries ...

We mix what was merged last time and what happened this time.
Let's try. It tastes sweet. In my opinion - even too much. Although the ladies said - tight!
BUT!!! I wouldn't say that.
So I decided to do this. He acknowledged the half-and-half ready-to-eat and put it aside, and with the "lady's" we finish the recipe according to the instructions.

So, the cherry, which ... you see after the sweet life, the cherry has darkened again. The taste ... acquired such a concentrated bright ... sweet and alcoholic shade.

So - fill the berries with water.
Attention!
Don't take any, God forbid, the Creator, boiled water. You need to take, best of all, a well, fresh. Delicious.
So we fill it. And from time to time, do not forget to turn over the cans. While they will stand in the cellar, another two weeks.

And here it is - the final act.
We take out the jars into which we added water. They stood for two weeks, as was said, with occasional shaking.

We drain, filtering. And then we mix it with what has accumulated “in the bins”. Of the "ladies'" stock, of course. There was no dish more suitable than this pan. You need to mix the whole product, for purity, so to speak, compliance with technology.

Here I ... in general, I decided to measure the fortress. While I found the alcohol meter in pharmacies, I sweated ten times. And the weight was so proud that the fortress did not exceed ten degrees.
And then one friend of mine, a chemist, he very tactfully explained to me that an alcoholometer is the essence of a hydrometer and correctly measures the density of a pure water-alcohol mixture. And in my liqueur both cherry juice and sugar were added. And no, not that the correct value will not work, and even more or less close to the true one.
So - a photograph, that is, but the strength of the drink is not determined.

We pour it into decanters, then into glasses ... (this is "half-and-half").

And here it is !!! "Polamovka". And so it happened, as he said. Feels like about thirty degrees. But a mildly sour taste. With a slight sweet touch. You know, as if the cherry, not quite ripe, was consumed as a snack. And no vodka taste. Color is also clear. Vishnevo is unsaturated, so to speak.

Ladies'. Here the picture is different. Taste ... although there is sourness, but with a big slant in sweetness. That is, just a highly intense taste of a well-ripened cherry. Even a little overripe. And the fortress ... still about ten degrees. Plus or minus two. Not more. And it is very easy to drink. BUT!!!
What "but"? More on that later.

But all the same, comrades, it turned out to be the purest ambrosia !!!

Now I will summarize.
1. "Boneiness". When discussing this recipe, a lot was said about the need to remove the bones, because they contain any harmful byaka, and this drink will poison the byaka. I do not know. I've been making this liqueur for three years. Ten buckets have already been used for sure, and no one has ever complained about any negative factors.
Tried doing a little pitted one this year. I do not advise. It seems to be beautiful, but the taste, when compared, is absolutely nonexistent. So ... a pitiful excuse.
2. "Ladies". Be careful. Behind the apparent lightness is quite heavy, like any other "liqueur" after…. This is the ladies' version! Therefore, the format of use should be the same. Ladies'.
And do not try to add a clean vodka, something stronger it comes out, but already "not that". It turns out surrogate.
3. "Polamovka". Really very appetizing, aromatic and tasty liqueur turns out. And it feels very acceptable "for men".
If someone suddenly wants to have a product that is, as they say, stronger, then simply reduce the amount of cherries to be placed in the first tab, as well as sugar in the second. The result is a less sweet and stronger liqueur.
4. "Drunken cherry". We tried it. It, of course, can be used for, say, eating (even without bread), as we would have done in the years of our unforgettable youth, or what kind of cake, for example, to bake. But!!! I do not advise. In general, I did not like it. And ... the owner is a master. Maybe someone it will be just right.

Sprinkle with sugar. Tie the bottle with gauze and set in the sun for 6 weeks to ferment the cherry.

Then we pour out the cherry juice, bottle it, cork it and put it in a cold place.

During the preparation of the liqueur, the temperature in the room should be between 25 ° and 30 ° C. In 2-3 days after pouring, fermentation will begin. As soon as air bubbles appear on the surface of the cherry-sugar mixture, you can close the bottle with a tight lid through which the tube is brought into a container with water. You can also use a rubber glove as a venting cover.

In a closed state with air removal, the liqueur is kept for as long as necessary in order for the fermentation to completely complete. This can go on for months. When bubbles no longer appear, it means that the fermentation process is over. It will be necessary to pour the liqueur into another vessel so that there is no sediment. If after the first time it appears, you need to drain it again. Can now be bottled.

The cherry liqueur is ready immediately after fermentation has finished. However, it is best to store the liqueur in a cool place for a year before use. Then it will ripen and give a rich taste and aroma to the one who drinks it. If there is no time to endure, the drink must be kept for at least 1 day after the end of fermentation in the cold so that it rests and is enriched with taste.

If the taste of the drink seems to a person strong, you can make a cherry cocktail from liqueur and cherry juice. The proportion is chosen according to your taste.
