Mulberry liqueur: 3 recipes at home

For the finished drink to have an interesting shade, you should use red or black mulberry varieties. White fruits are very sweet and juicy, but the liquor from it will turn out to be pale and not at all appetizing.

As an alcoholic ingredient, you can use vodka, cognac, gin and, in extreme cases, diluted food alcohol or good double-distilled moonshine.
