Homemade Raspberry Liqueur Introduction: To make raspberry liqueur, you'll need to macerate the raspberries in vodka, then strain out the berries. It's a simple process of fermentation where the vodka transforms the sugars (including those naturally in the berries) to create a beautiful red liqueur with the taste of sweet raspberries. The flavor is further enhanced by adding the zest of an orange and a few tablespoons of orange liqueur. I replaced the red wine with Sangria and the resulting concoction was wicked good. Ingredients: 24 oz (700g) of fresh garden raspberries (two small baskets) 1/2 cup Vodka 1/2 cup Sangria wine 75g brown sugar Zest of 1 tree ripened orange 3 Tbsp orange liqueur Instructions 1. Freeze raspberries for 2 hours then mash gently  in a glass container. Freezing helps break the tissues to release the juices. 2. Add the Vodka.  3. Add the zest of the orange and mix well.  4. Cover with a lid and let it macerate for 3 days in the fridge. 5. Strain through
