About this recipe
If you have a bountiful harvest of berries at your dacha, prepare a red currant liqueur using our recipe. Of course, we do not suggest our readers abuse alcohol, but you must admit, it's certainly acceptable to have a small drink of a beverage made with your own hands now and then. It is clearly tastier than store-bought ones, and also safer, especially if you carefully choose your vodka. By the way, homemade red currant liqueur also has a beautiful color, so if you serve it in a clear decanter on the table, your guests will definitely be impressed.

Preparation steps
Step 1
Prepare red currants. First of all, tear them off the branches and sort them out, removing any bruised or damaged ones. Then place in a large bowl of cold water and rinse gently.
Step 2
Drain the berries in a colander. Let the water drain. Transfer the redcurrants to a table lined with paper towels in a single layer and allow the berries to dry completely.
Step 3
Prepare a bottle for tincture. Wash it with any detergent and fill it with boiling water. Rinse. Pour out the water and let the inside of the bottle dry.
Step 4
Pour the prepared red currants into the bottle. Add sugar. Fill with vodka and close the bottle. Shake it vigorously several times until the sugar is almost dissolved.
Step 5
Place the bottle in a cool, dark place. Periodically shake the bottle of berries in vodka. After 2 weeks, the red currant tincture will be ready. Store it in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your meal!
