Sambuca strawberries

Brain · 10 Jul 2009 at 18:01

I'm supposed to prepare sambuca strawberries for a BBQ tomorrow! I've eaten them before, but I'm not quite sure how to make them. Has anyone done this before?

All I know is to get a lot of strawberries, and a bottle of sambuca. Put the two together and leave in the fridge for 24hrs. However, should I not add a lashing of sugar also to aid the fermenting process?

gewgle?

tried that but I have struggled to find anything on the matter

fermentation? I think all you do is soak them in it so they absorb it, your over thinking things

could maybe inject them with it if you cant be bothered waiting. plus you get to play with needles that way

sambuca doesn't need fermenting

Lmao, what the hell?

I would be tempted to add some sugar, just a little, as otherwise the alcohol may seem a little 'raw'.

Raw, and needles...

Good times?

Okay. I have no idea how to make these, But I now plan on doing so.

My plan is just Gonna be this one:-

Sambuca in a Tupperware container and add strawberries.

No idea how they'll turn out, I'll let you know when I've eaten them

not sure how else you would do it. surely the strawberries just soak up the sambuca. I would love some sambuca right now

Sambuca sounds just wrong to me - some other liqueur perhaps...

Or just eat strawberries and then drink flaming sambucas?

I fancy this also.

I fancy making Pear Drops Vodka, and looking around the web there's already a recommended way of doing it.

Pour Vodka into a Jug
Put Pear drops in Vodka Bottle
Refill Vodka bottle with Vodka
And then put into Dishwasher for 1 hour

Now, this to me sounds crazy, A bottle of Vodka in a Dishwasher for an hour? How is that not crazy lol

Anyone got a better method?

You can just leave it to sit for a week or so the dishwasher step is just to heat it up and dissolve them quicker

Absolut Pear is on offer in Tesco at the min - £8 a bottle, i bought one yesterday.
