Raspberry liqueur
Description
Raspberry liqueur is an aromatic, sweet drink with an intense red-pink color and a thicker consistency than vodka, featuring a distinct note of fresh raspberries, a tart finish, and a subtle exotic sweetness. In terms of nutritional values, alcohol and sugars dominate, making the product calorie-dense; however, the antioxidants found in raspberries (anthocyanins) and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals may add a phytonutrient profile, although the benefits associated with the fruit are limited by the alcohol and sugar content. In the kitchen, raspberry liqueur works well in cocktails, desserts, fruit sauces, cake glazes, for macerating fruits, and as an addition to ice creams or creams, enhancing the raspberry flavor and balancing acidity. It should be stored in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed bottle; once opened, it is best kept in the refrigerator or a cool pantry and consumed within a few months to preserve its aroma.
