If you ever wondered if it?s a good idea to make a spirit while eating fresh strawberries, this strawberry brandy is exactly the confirmation you?ve been waiting for.
Yes, you can make a damn fine spirit using your favorite berries, and the best part of it is that you don?t need fresh berries to make some. Just make sure to have some frozen strawberries stashed in the freezer or make a trip to a local grocery store and pick something good.
Other than that, the recipe is quite simple and easy to make, without any complex processing. Just mix things up, pitch that yeast, ferment then distill. It doesn?t get any better than this!
