Nalyvka fatta in casa: liquore ucraino fatto con lamponi freschi estivi, more e Horilka.

This is an infused liqueur with muddled berries, simple syrup, and horilka (vodka) based on the recipe in Yevhen Klopotenko’s book “The Authentic Ukrainian Kitchen.” His recipe calls for black currants, but I have a friend who grows tons of other berries, so I decided to have a go at raspberry and blackberry versions. These will need to infuse for a couple of weeks before straining and tasting. I can imagine the finished liqueurs inspiring some really cool summertime cocktails to share grill-side with friends.

Yum! Yum!
