the size of the jar doesn’t matter so much as the ratio of the ingredients… Follow the ratio in the recipe and you should be fine. For instance, if you have 1 cup of raspberries, use 365 mL of Everclear, etc… if you want to fill your whole jar, feel free to double or triple the recipe as needed. You could put a whole bottle (750mL) of everclear in the gallon jar and then add 2-3 cups of raspberries. then double the sugar and water accordingly…

If I have a gallon glass jar…how many cups of raspberries would I use?
There was a recipe for Limoncello in our newspaper, but raspberry sounds better. Just a little lost on amount of berries and do I still add a little lemon?

Have any pictures of the raspicello process? I am interested in what the color of the liqueur looks like after the raspberries have been infused with the everclear. Thanks

Hi Chris, I don’t actually mash the berries. It seems kind of intuitive to want to mash them to get out all that berry goodness, but you may cloudy up your raspicello if you do. not that cloudy raspicello is really a bad thing, it’s more aesthetic I guess. I’ve never actually done a side by side comparison or anything, but that’s the reasoning: mash = cloudy, no mash = clear. (even though you’re still filtering it). similarly (as with filtering limoncello) I don’t squeeze that last little bit of liquid that ends up in the filter, i just let it go . . . or squeeze it into a shot glass or something and have yourself a treat.

When you filter your Raspicello, do you mash the berries?

Hi Jim and Julie, I started filtering the Everclear after looking through the site Limoncello Quest. While I'm not sure exactly why it works, I do feel like it makes the Everclear much smoother, almost like a very strong neutral vodka. But I also have made it without filtering first and had a fine result. Maybe give it a try once and see if you think it affects your final product, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts... glad you like the cats!

Quick question as to why you filter the Everclear 3 or 4 times in a Brita, or other charcoal filter? We make Linoncello and Crema di Limoncello and do not filter our Everclear. Just wondering why please…
Thanks,
Jules
PS. LOVE your cat pics

Great photos! I don't have any raspberry recipe ideas… although I did make a great raspberry stout many years ago. How about some kind of sauce for ice cream? That sounds yummy.
