Best Rose Liqueur Recipes

TEQUILA ROSE - CREAMY ALCOHOL LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Measure all ingredients into a blender.
• Blend until mixed and smooth. Store in refrigerator until serving time.
• I think, like the homemade Bailey's recipes, likely keeping chilled a week will allow the flavors to blend. All measurements are a starting point. If it needs more or less of something then adjust as needed.

ROSE LIQUEUR

Steps:

• In a quart jar, add petals, 1 cup sugar, and vodka.
• Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
• After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the petals, getting as much juice as possible.
• In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, coloring, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
• Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.

ROSE GERANIUM RASPBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Mix berries, geranium leaves, vodka, and wine in large jar with tight fitting cover. Put in cool dark place to steep for 1 month. Crush berries slightly with wooden spoon or potato masher and steep for another 4 days. Strain liquid, pressing as much juice as possible from berries, then filter. Boil sugar and water together in small pan til sugar is dissolve; cool, then gradually stir into liqueur, tasting as you go. When liqueur has reached desired level of sweetness, bottle and age for another 3 weeks in a cool dark place. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts. Amounts will vary according to the ripeness of the fruits and quantity of ingredients used. Ginger berry Liqueur: Use 1 pint strawberries and 2 half pints raspberries, and replace rose geranium with 2 Tbsp. candied ginger. Lemon Berry Liqueur: Use 1 pint strawberries and 2 half pints raspberries and substitute lemon geranium or lemon verbena for the rose geranium. Pineapple Ginger Liqueur: Use white rum in place of vodka, 4 cups cubed pineapple instead of berries and 2 Tbsp. candied ginger and 1/4 cup orange mint or lime balm instead of rose geranium Chocolate Mint Liqueur: Use 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa in place of the berries; substitute 3/4 cup tightly packed peppermint leaves for the rose geranium.
