Hello, thanks for replying here. Well, it takes around at least one week until alcohol accumulates the taste of strawberries. It can have other types of fruits as well, but then, the alcohol-absorbing process may vary. In this exact way, I made a raspberry drink, and it is awesome as well, it got a strong raspberry taste. And the alcohol I put is domestic rakija, as it is our national alcohol drink, it can be found everywhere, it is strong as whiskey or vodka itself, but usually in yellow color (shades may vary, but there is completely translucent rakija, looking like vodka) up to darker orange. Anyway, it should get a taste of the fruit very well, as well as its color. Sometimes, for the stronger color effect, I add little artificial color, but I do not think there is no need for it. Just in case that you wish to add rum, add it additionally after you remove the fruit from finalized drink. Oh, forgot to mention, that since we add strawberries or raspberries, tiny parts of them may remain in drink, and it can be blurred, not crystal clear, because fruit was in there for about week or more, but that is not a problem at all, it cannot be spoiled, it is a strong drink. I think if sealed, it can last forever. Well, I have here homemade cherry liqueur, it is old at least 15 years now, and still drinkable.
