Liqueur and tincture on peaches: 9 recipes at home

If you are not too lazy, you can provide yourself and your loved ones with light and not too light peach drinks for the entire autumn-winter period. The main thing is that the velvety fruits are extremely juicy and no less ripe.

As an alcoholic base, good vodka, grain alcohol diluted to a strength of 45 degrees or conscientiously purified double-distilled moonshine is suitable. In addition, in the case of liqueur, you can do without strong alcohol at all.

It is also made from peaches: wine, liqueurs, schnapps, syrup
