Homemade Apple Liqueur
Learn how to make your own apple liqueur at home! This sweet and fruity apple liqueur requires just 3 ingredients! Serve on the rocks or use it as a base for cocktails!
Ingredients
- 4 medium (400 g) apples any type of apple will work, use your favorite variety
- 7 ounces (200 g) rock sugar
- 3 cups (700 ml) vodka or rice wine It should be about 30% alcohol. See notes.
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with water and place the whole apples in it. Let them soak for 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse the apples and pat them dry. Cut the apples into thick slices (about 6 slices per apple). Remove most of the seeds.
- To a clean glass jar (I used this 2-L glass jar), add half of the rock sugar and top with half of the apple slices. Repeat this step one more time.
- Pour the vodka into the jar and close it with the lid. Keep the jar in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. Let the liqueur infuse for at least 2 months, preferably 3 months, for a deeper flavor.
- You can then strain the liqueur and transfer it to a clean bottle. This apple liqueur will keep for several months at room temperature.
Notes
If using 40% ABV vodka: Mix 2 and 1/4 cups of vodka and 3/4 cup water to make 3 cups of alcohol at 30% ABV.
