Strawberry liqueur update

So my strawberry liqueur is finally done. The yucky alcohol smell that bothered me so much before is gone, but in getting rid of it I made the liqueur a bit sweeter than I would have liked. It is still delicious, and has great strawberry flavour, with the lemons adding a slight tartness (wish there was just a tad more to balance out the sweetness though). And it smells wonderful. I'm guessing this stuff would be better in cocktails or with club soda than served straight. On the rocks would be good too, as long as there were lots of rocks, that would slowly melt and make the the liqueur milder and milder. Actually that sounds really nice, I think I'll go have that right now.

I'm also really happy with the colour. Who would have thought those deep red berries would give the liqueur this wonderful warm orange?

Anyway, this liqueur was a success and I think next time I'll stick with a small amount of sugar, and just try to be paitent enough to let time work its magic.

Here are some more pics of the lovely stuff.
