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.

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! Hi Jim and Julie,

We make Linoncello and Crema di Limoncello and do not filter our Everclear. Just wondering why please... Thanks, Jules PS.

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. Great photos!
