- When you’re ready to make strawberry liqueur, prepare the syrup at least a few hours in advance.
Prepare Sugar Syrup
- In a pot add water and sugar and bring everything to a boil. Mix well making sure all sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.
Prepare Creamy Syrup
- If you want to make strawberry cream liqueur mix whipping cream, milk and sugar in a pot. Bring to a boil. Let cool completely. Place in the fridge for a few hours (optional but highly recommended).
Prepare Strawberry Liqueur
- Strain strawberries macerated in alcohol. Lightly press with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- If you want to prepare only classic strawberry liqueur make sure to double the syrup and once it’s completely cool mix with strawberry alcohol.
- In case you’re preparing both classic and creamy version, first divide strawberry alcohol in 2 equal parts. By weight you should get approximately 450 grams total or 225 grams for each of the liqueurs.
- In one part of strawberry alcohol pour sugar syrup, in the other preferably chilled creamy syrup.
- Mix well and bottle in sterilized glass bottles.
