Blueberry Cordial
4 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups 100-proof vodka
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. whole cloves
1/2 tsp. whole coriander seeds
Crush or mash berries in a glass jar. Add vodka, water, whole cloves and whole coriander seeds. Cover. Let stand in a dark place for 10 days, shaking daily. Mixture should be a dark blue-black color. Carefully strain mixture. Add sugar and shake until dissolved. Wait 24 hours and pour mixture through a clean cloth. Let rest until clear.
Curacao
4 oranges
1 cup honey
3 cups 80-proof Bourbon
Remove outer peel from the oranges without any white pith. Steep peel in bourbon for one month, shaking daily and store in a dark place. Strain and add honey. Let stand until clear.
Peach Cordial
9 small fresh peaches
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
3 cups 80-proof vodka
Peel and cut peaches into small pieces. Put in a glass jar with the vodka. Marinate for 1 week, shaking jar periodically. Strain and add sugar and honey. Stir well. Let sit until clear.
Raspberry Cordial
1 lb. raspberries
8 oz. sugar
3 cups 80-proof vodka
Crush berries, cover overnight. Bring to a boil, remove from heat. Strain and let cool. Carefully pour off 1 3/4 cups juice. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Blend in vodka and leave until clear.
Frozen Berry Liqueurs
When fresh berries are unavailable, one can use frozen berries instead of fresh. I suggest experimenting with a 10-ounce package of any berry and making small batches.
1 10-ounce package of any berry
1 1/2 cups vodka or 1 cup vodka and 1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup sugar syrup
Add juice and berries to the alcohol. Stir and steep for one week. Crush berries through a strainer and filter. Taste. Add sugar syrup as necessary, since many frozen berries are already heavily pre-sugared.
