It’s a fact that the sugar and acid levels are 2 of the key elements of creating a good batch and so any adjustments to the process are based on those tests.

The amount of sugar you use will determine the amount of alcohol that will be in the final batch but in order to run these tests you will need a hydrometer.

Delicious fruit liqueurs are easy to make. All you need is to complete the recipes needed in making fruit liqueurs.

So following the lists of the most suitable fruits for liqueur-making with the amounts usually given to produce sufficient flavor (though not enough juice are sometimes produce), you can make two bottles of liqueur using one bottle of brandy. However, if not enough juice is produced from the amounts of fruit given, make up the amount required with boiled water, considering that half a pound of sugar occupies the space of a quarter-pint while one pound occupies half a pint space and so on. Clearly, all these liqueurs will have a spirit content of 40 proof which is already a high spirit content. As you shall be using 80 proofs of spirit, you could make two and half bottles by using a little more juice, a little more water and an ounce of two more sugar and still have a product of 32 proofs, which is a nice spirit content.
