FRAGOLO -- FRAGOLA -- FRAGOLI LIQUEUR (STRAWBERRY LIQUEUR)



Fragolo -- Fragola -- Fragoli Liqueur (Strawberry Liqueur) image

Fragolo is a very sweet Italian strawberry liqueur that is a great digestivo or after dinner drink. The liqueur not only tastes great but is a beautiful feast for the eyes. Very easy recipe...the hardest part is waiting 7 months for it to macerate. Be sure to shake it when you peek in on its progress. Pour it in an elegant bottle and seal with wax and give as a gift. Hopefully, your friend will share. A tablespoon in a pie crust or added to strawberry pie has phenomenal results.
