Lønnestræde´s Raspberry Vodka

Raspberry, sugar and vodka at day 1 - clear colour

Last year (2011) my raspberry bush was in full activity, but this summer has been more rainy and cold, so the volume of home-grown raspberries has been disappointing low. To fully capture these few raspberries, I decided to make my very own version of a raspberry vodka based on last year´s sensory evaluation of fruit alcohol (conducted by some very good and sober friends).

However, if you have more raspberries, than I have had this summer, you could perhaps try these recipes as well:

• raspberry vodka from "Almanak"
• raspberry vinegar with elder flower
• raspberry jam with rosemary from "Almanak"
