Step 6
Pour in high-quality vodka, not cheap alcohol, which could spoil the taste of the entire drink. Shake the container thoroughly in your hands, sealing it with a plastic cap, or stir with a spoon or spatula until the granulated sugar is completely dissolved. Place the container in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. The liqueur can be stored in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks or even longer, if it lasts that long!
