Recipe for strawberry liqueur Xu Xu (XuXu)

It is worth noting right away that this recipe does not claim to be the original recipe that the manufacturer puts in its bottles. But the taste of the resulting liqueur is very similar to the original.

Ingredients

1. Strawberries - 0.5 kg

2. Vodka or alcohol (diluted to 40-45%) - 0.5 liters

3. Sugar - 250-300 g

4. Lemon - 1 pc.

5. Water - 200 ml

Cooking method

1. Rinse the strawberries, remove the stalks and cut them in half (if the berries are large, you can also cut them into quarters).

2. Pour strawberries into a liter jar and fill it with vodka or diluted. It is important that all berries are covered with vodka. You can take more of it and pour it to the very edges of the jar. Also add the juice of half a lemon to our infusion - it will give the drink a pleasant sourness.

3. We send the jar for 7-10 days to the windowsill, preferably with the sun. Then the infusion should be carefully drained through cheesecloth without squeezing the strawberries, and sugar should be added to the jar with berries. Cork the infusion and set it aside - we don't need it yet.

4. The jar with strawberries and sugar should be gently shaken several times and set aside for another 2-3 days until the sugar is completely dissolved. Drain the syrup, add 200 ml of water to the jar, stir and drain the remaining syrup again.

5. Mix strawberry infusion with syrup, pour into a jar and forget about it for another 3-5 days. During this time, the liquor will lighten and can be removed from the sediment, and then filtered.

As a result, you should get a delicious liqueur of a beautiful "strawberry" color. Its strength will not exceed 15%, but the taste and aroma are simply divine. It is better to drink the liquor chilled.
