Do you want to know how to make jabuticaba liquor? Here at Specialfood we share with you the traditional homemade jabuticaba liqueur recipe to prepare without difficulty. There are different ways to prepare it, but this one works very well and yields a very transparent and high quality jabuticaba liqueur! This drink is more intense if you use very ripe jabuticaba, so pick these berries and prepare your jabuticaba liqueur that looks beautiful in a crystal bottle, just the old-fashioned way.

Ingredients for making easy jabuticaba liqueur:

 1½ kilograms of ripe jabuticaba

 2 cups of cachaça, cereal alcohol, gin or vodka (500 ml)

 2 cups of sugar (300 g)

How to make easy jabuticaba liqueur:

Prepare several bottles or glass jars, washing well and drying. Place 2/3 of the washed and dried jabuticabas and sugar in layers inside, pressing or shaking to accommodate the fruit.

Cover with plastic film and place the lid without closing (to allow the exit of the fermentation gas). In a smaller pot place the remaining jabuticabas with the drink and close in the same way. Label the containers with the date of the present day and set aside in a cupboard for 30 days, without moving.

Tip: The cachaça should completely cover the jabuticabas, add more if necessary.

After the rest time, transfer the fermented liquid from the jabuticabas and sugar to new bottles, using a sieve or coffee filter to filter the husks. Do the same with the jabuticaba and cachaça pots, joining in the same bottle as the previous one. Close tightly and shake to mix.

Tip: Avoid shaking the liquids too much when transferring to a new bottle, this way you can preserve the amount of liquor and its durability.

You can serve the jabuticaba liqueur right away, but it gets much better after 1 month (it's normal to add some sediment to the bottom of the bottle, it doesn't mean it's spoiled). Prepare at home and let us know what you think!
