Homemade Pomegranate Liqueur

Step 10 Serving Suggestions & Recipe Credits

This liqueur makes an excellent gift! Labeling with serving suggestions is always nice.

Just a few simple serving suggestions:

This pomegranate iiqueur can be served straight up, chilled.

mix 1 to 1 with vodka (straight or flavored) for a simple pomegranate martini. A splash of fresh pomegranate (or cranberry) juice can add another level.

An ounce of pomegranate liqueur in champagne makes for a festive (and stunning) drink.


While I'd love to take complete credit for this recipe, i cobbled together this recipe after reading through various websites across the internet and a few different books. Most notably, however, is the book Luscious Liquors by A.J. Rathbun and Gunther Anderson's internet musings on Homemade Liquors.

"Alochol by volume" is the same as % or half the proof number.

80 proof = 40% or 40 a.b.v

AHA,

I never have seen the abbreviation, I understand the concept though. Proof was th epoint at which alcohol if exposed to a flame ignites. The booze had to PROVE it was strong enough! goes back to jolly old drunk England I believe. In history class at one point the taverns had a sign that read drunk for half a penny dead drunk for a penny. I believe that was in the 1600's and taverns were every block or so.

thanks

What is the shelf life of the finished product? I'm assuming you would keep it in the fridge.

[djeucalyptus]

The final product is roughly 18% abv, so it's relatively shelf stable for extended periods months, if not years. spoilage is highly unlikely due to the alcohol, so the only detriment of age would be a fading of flavors. refrigerated storage would extend the life of the flavors, but isn't absolutely necessary.

This sounds like a delicious Idea!! I normally make lemonchello and I love mixing drinks that taste great when you add time!
