2 cups fresh strawberries
2 cups frozen blueberries
2 cups frozen raspberries
Mashed them together and it gave me 4 cups of mashed berries, I split them up for 2 cups for the vodka mix and 2 cups for the brandy mix
Vodka mix
2 cups mixed berry mixture
I added 1 cup of vodka/blackberry mix to the bottle (I had started the blackberry vodka a few days before)
added zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups of red label smirnoff vodka.
Mixed together to sit
Brandy Mix
2 cups mixed berry mixture
I added 1 cup of blackberry/brandy mix to another bottle (I had started earlier)
zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups Christian Brothers brandy
Steep for 2 - 4 weeks, strain and add simple syrup (see recipe)
This turned out to be my daughter's favorite brandy. Both turned out amazing, you can drink it either straight, it makes a wonderful Belini, or just with a little bit of Sierra Mist. Be careful thought it almost tastes like punch and can hit you easily.
