Lingonberry tincture

Cookinero 3 Apr 2025

Lingonberry tincture at home is usually made from fresh berries. The drink prepared on their basis has a more pronounced taste and aroma. In the absence of fresh gifts of the forest, you can use a frozen product. Lingonberry is one of the most frost-resistant berries and retains all its beneficial properties at low temperatures. Lingonberry tincture is made on the basis of vodka. The drink is prepared for 3 weeks.

How to cook Lingonberry tincture

Step 1

Lingonberry tincture

Prepare the berries. Place the washed or defrosted berries in a container and mash them a little.

Step 2

Lingonberry tincture

Make a concentrate. Sprinkle sugar on top of the berries in a thin stream so that it covers the lingonberries without mixing with them completely.

Step 3

Lingonberry tincture

Make a tincture. Pour vodka into a container with berries and sugar. Pour carefully, in a thin stream. As a result, the lingonberries will rise to the top, and the sugar will grow over time. No need to shake the liquid. Cover with a lid and put the jar in a dark place for 21 days.

Step 4

Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening for best quality.

Chill and serve neat in small glasses, over ice, or as a cocktail mixer with soda or citrus.
Yes! Try them in compotes, baked goods, or as a topping—though alcohol content remains, so consume mindfully.
Shaking disturbs the sugar settling, which slowly dissolves to create a balanced infusion. Patience ensures better flavor.
