How is Isabella grape tincture made with vodka? Recently we were visiting distant relatives, and there we were treated to this drink. Both me and my husband do not like grape wine, but we liked the tincture. We decided upon arrival home and to make one for ourselves, especially since we have just such a variety and has already ripened. What is the ratio of berries and vodka and how much should you infuse?

An incredibly aromatic, beautiful and tasty infusion of Isabella grapes with vodka is obtained. Ruby in color, with a rich characteristic aroma of ripe berries, it is even better than the wine itself. This drink is perfect for a celebration. And according to its taste characteristics it can easily replace grape wine. Berries infused with vodka will give it both aroma and bright taste, and will color it in a noble dark color. It is very simple to make a tincture, because it requires a minimum of ingredients. In addition, it is prepared several times faster than wine, and after a couple of weeks the tincture can be consumed.
