Blackcurrant is not subtle 🍇

It hits fast with deep color, sharp acidity, and bold berry flavor. Perfect for rich liqueurs — but easy to overdo if you leave it too long.

Balance is everything: sugar, citrus, spice… that’s where the magic happens.

🍇🌙 Berry Noire

Inspired by dark forests, autumn evenings, and the mysterious character of chokeberries, Berry Noire is a rich vodka liqueur that balances deep berry notes with citrus brightness, soft honey sweetness, warm spice, and a gentle herbal finish.

Elegant, smooth, and layered with character, it's a recipe that showcases just how expressive homemade liqueurs can be.

🍓🌙 Fragoluna — Strawberry Magic in the Making

The latest infusion has begun.

Fragoluna combines fresh strawberries, lightly crushed almonds, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, muscovado sugar, lemon, and vodka to create a rich homemade liqueur with layers of fruit, warmth, sweetness, and delicate marzipan character.

For the next two weeks the ingredients will slowly infuse, extracting colour, aroma, and flavour before resting and maturing into a smooth, elegant liqueur.

Wild strawberry liqueurs are all about intensity and elegance 🍓✨

These tiny berries deliver concentrated aroma, vivid fruit character, delicate floral notes, and natural freshness that can completely transform a homemade infusion. But there’s a catch — over-extraction can quickly mute the brightness that makes them so special.

Gooseberry is one of those fruits that can completely transform a homemade liqueur 🍈✨

Sharp, green, floral, slightly citrusy, and almost wine-like, it gives infusions a bright refreshing personality that keeps sweeter recipes from becoming flat or heavy.

The challenge? Extraction timing and balance. Gooseberry loves sugar, honey, vanilla, ginger, elderflower, and citrus — but too much maceration can push it into harsh territory.
