Blackberry liqueur
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare aromatic blackberry liqueur during the summer season and store it in the refrigerator, cellar, or basement for 6–7 months. The main thing is to strain the liquid from the pomace so that it remains clear. If desired, you can add some vanilla sugar or flavoring along with the regular sugar.
