Hot pink strawberry liqueur

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

In the spirit of the season combine a few ingredients and leave them to infuse for two days and you'll have a very festive home-made hot pink strawberry liqueur to gift to friends this year.

Ingredients

2 cups vodka
200 g caster sugar
400 g ripe strawberries, well washed & sliced
1 - 2 T lime juice (or 2 T rose-water)

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients in a large, sterilised jar. infuse for up to 2 days, shaking the jar occasionally to encourage the sugar to dissolve. Strain and decant into sterilised bottles. Keep in a cool, dark spot until opened, then in the fridge for up to nine months.

2. Serve with tonic or sparkling water and ice, or add a splash to a glass of sparkling wine for a strawberry fizz.
