COCKTAIL EXPERIMENT: Chocolate Raspberry Vodkatini

KQ host Mitch Hightower has been using the Small Batch Raspberry Liqueur he and Chef Philip made, (look for directions in the next KQ video).  The cocktail on this page contains said raspberry liqueur, chocolate liqueur and vodka.

Mitch says, "You can definitely taste the chocolate and the raspberry.  It's got a little tartness and a sweet element and it's nice and boozy.  I love it".

Expect to see this cocktail recipe demonstrated in an upcoming Season 4 KQ video.

RECIPE EXPERIMENTS: Raspberry Liqueur

Recently Mitch and Philip had the occasion to sample raspberry liqueur purchased from the liquor store. While they both agreed it was amazingly delicious, the price tag of $20 for a tiny bottle was a bit much for their budget.

So, our KQ crew decided to investigate creating their own raspberry liqueur. Chef Philip researched recipes, and settled on a technique that required no cooking. Philip put together two versions, one using frozen fruit and the second utilizing fresh raspberries.

Both versions are now stashed in a cool, dark cabinet to steep for six weeks. We'll be reporting on the outcome when the raspberry liqueurs are ready to sample. And we'll show you exactly what the KQ crew did to create Homemade Raspberry Liqueur in a KQ Season 4 video later this summer.

Thanks for watching!
