Before you reveal the secret of this drink, a little history. Initially, the word "liquor" simply meant liquid, since this word has Latin roots. Then its meaning changed, and it began to mean a sweet alcoholic drink of medium strength. Paradoxically, the healer monks invented liquor in the 10th century. They prepared herbal tinctures for the treatment of various diseases. But since most herbs have a characteristic bitter aftertaste, honey was added to tinctures. Documented liquor was first noted by the same monks in the 16th century. And he became an export alcoholic beverage in the 17th century in the Netherlands.

for hair. The rounded end is just right for quickly removing the bones. Moreover, with this method, the berries remain almost intact, while when using a fork, the shape of the berry itself is destroyed.

Again, this is all for everybody. Someone likes a spicy aftertaste, and someone like a bitterness. Now put the bottle in a dark place for 6 days. It is important to shake it daily. After 6 days, strain the liquor and add the remaining sugar and vodka. Heat the resulting liquor in a water bath a little. This is necessary so that the sugar dissolves faster.
