Strawberry Liqueur made with fresh Strawberries and vodka, make it with a simple syrup or a creamy mixture. Take your pick both are the best ways to bring in or take out the Strawberry Season this year!

Italian are big on making Homemade Liqueur from Limoncello to Grappa. We have a friend who makes his own Grappa and I am telling you, I can’t even get that stuff down. It is so strong.

I prefer my liqueurs a little less strong. And this Strawberry Liqueur is perfect. Not too sweet, a delicious after dinner liqueur. Delicious too served over ice.

You might think it takes too much time to make this, but believe me the recipes where the fruit has to sit with the alcohol for more time is really worth it. Just imagine what you are going to taste in 20 days? Believe me I trust the Italians when it comes to making a homemade Liqueur. I have never had a bad one. Strong yes, bad no.

Once I had the strawberry and the liquor mixed I decided to divide the liquid and make two varieties. A regular Strawberry Liqueur and a Cream Strawberry Liqueur. I have to say we are a cream loving liquor couple, and it turns out so are our friends.

That Cream Strawberry Liqueur went down really well. In fact too well maybe?

How long does Strawberry Liqueur keep?

  • The regular Strawberry Liqueur will keep 3-4 weeks in the fridge.
  • The Cream Strawberry Liqueur will keep 1-2 weeks.

            Could I substitute white rum for the vodka possibly?

              Awesome and easy to make. I froze a lot of strawberries this summer. Can I thaw them and use in place of fresh strawberries? Thank you for so many delicious recipes.

            Can I make the clear version and then blend in the cream when I want to make a cocktail?

              Hi JoAnn, I have never done that, so I really don’t know. You have to heat the milk and cream and the sugar, you could try and let me know if you do. Take care!

            I am totally confused by your ** footnote regarding doubling. I want to make a liqueur by first infusing the vodka with the berries, then after weeks of storing, adding a simple syrup made of sugar and water to the strained infusion. If I use 1 pound of berries and 2 cups of vodka for the infusion, what is the recipe for the simple syrup that I will need to add?

            Thank you.

              Hi Donna, sorry you are confused. For the 1 pound of berries and 2 cups of vodka you will need 2 cups of water and 1 1/2-2 cups of sugar (depends on how sweet your berries are). Hope that helps take care.
