Grape liqueur
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Let's agree, making tinctures and liqueurs at home isn't very labor-intensive. And it's not expensive at all. I really like that with homemade liqueurs, you can control the sugar level and the strength of the drink yourself. With this recipe, the liqueur turns out moderately sweet and about 20-25% alcohol. Serve chilled.

Use a special knife to remove the zest from the lemon. Remove only the top layer, as the white layer will be bitter and spoil the liqueur.
