Homebrew Underground

Here is a shot of some of my liqueurs.

I started making liqueurs last year. My first liqueur was a batch of almond liqueur. I took it to one of my neighbors and they encouraged me to make more. When I made more – and gave them a bottle – they insisted on a label. My wife came up with the name and so I made a logo and a label. In later posts I will show you where to obtain labels (or make your own) and where to get bottles, corks and seals. This will give your home made liqueurs that professional touch and will show that you take pride in your homebrews.

Right now I have 4 flavors: almond, almond caramel, blackberry and dark cherry. We give them to our friends, neighbors and people we do business with. In some of the upcoming posts, I’ll show you how to make blackberry liqueur. Blackberry liqueur is fast and easy to make, and when you are finished making the liqueur, you can make blackberry liqueur pastries from the berry "mash" that’s leftover from the liqueur making process … blackberry liqueur pie and blackberry liqueur turnovers.
