There are a few spirits that sit back on the liquor cabinet shelf that I haven’t used in a while. On a whim I have begun playing with a few of those forgotten partially used bottles of liquor. The result isn’t always great, but sometime a winner comes through. Chocolate Raspberry Liqueur is one of those winning combinations. It turned out so well I made a special batch for a chocolate and raspberry loving friend for Christmas.
Chocolate Raspberry Liqueur – created by Cheri Loughlin
1/2 cup Demerara Sugar
1/2 cup Water
2 cups Frozen Raspberries (unsweetened)
1/2 Cutie – Juiced, save the leftover peel after juicing
2 cups Chocolate Vodka
Heat sugar, water, raspberries, juice & peel in saucepan over low heat. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Double strain to remove all pulp. Allow to cool. Pour raspberry syrup & 2 cups Chocolate Vodka in bottle with lid. Refrigerate.
Serve over ice or shake with ice & serve up in chilled cocktail glass.

About 10 years ago or more, I came across a Liqueur called Wild Spirit – Paddle your own Canoe, which was manufactured in Philadelphia, Pa. by World Wide Distillers Co. The product came in 2 strengths of Liqueur, one of which was 52.5% (105 Proof) & the other was weaker. They have since gone out of business & no-one else took up the manufacturing. I was wondering if , through your experience, a comparable recipe could be discovered, I would expect that the original would be proprietary. It was a Chocolate / Raspberry Schnapps type Liqueur & you can view the
original bottles on the net. I would like to know if you can help me with this as I would like to learn to make liqueurs & you have the best site to learn from.
