• Yields: 750 ml

ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup pineapple
• 1⁄3 cup peach
• 1⁄3 cup mango
• 3 cups vodka
• 2 cups sugar
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon glycerin (optional)

directions

1. In a quart jar, add fruit, 1 cup sugar, and vodka. (I use frozen berries as the freezing process breaks down the cell walls, allowing you to get more juice).
2. Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
3. After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the fruit, getting as much juice as possible.
4. In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
5. Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.
