Blackcurrant Gin Liqueur Recipe D.I.Y.

Hey Guys and Gals!

Are you looking for an awesome Blackcurrant Gin Liqueur Recipe? You now have no reason to look any further; you have just found what you have been looking for! This is a recipe for the most awesome tasting Blackcurrant Gin Liqueur in the world.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of gin
  • 1 lemon
  • 33 oz of blackcurrant
Step 2 Optional
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cups sugar

Utensils Tips

Here is a list of the simplest utensils that you can use; the ones Mom should already have in the kitchen:)

Utensils:
– cheesecloth
– saucepan
– small funnel
– glass bottles, or storage containers, for bottling and serving, you can either use the glass Jar you used before, or just buy a second one. 

Directions

Zest the lemon and put the peel and the blackcurrants into your container pour in your gin making sure the blackcurrants are completely submerged.

Aging, Straining, Filtering, and Drinking Your Blackcurrant Gin Liqueur

Shake well and store away from sunlight in a cool and dry place for a minimum of 2-3 weeks.

After 2-3 weeks or more of aging, strain your liqueur through several layers of cheesecloth.

It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.

Once you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the liquid and juice.

If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.

Step 2 Optional

Combined the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Combine your aged liqueur with your simple syrup slowly, tasting till its to your likeness.

You now need a bottle and a label which are cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly, if you put it into a cheap bottle, people will make fun of you. BUT, if it looks good, people will rave about it!
