Terms and conditions of storage
Liqueur is not classified as spirits. It is a light alcohol, so its shelf life is much shorter than similar products.
Homemade alcoholic compositions on herbs and fruits are stored for 6-8 months at temperatures from +12 to +25 degrees.
To prevent your favorite drink from spoiling, you must follow the storage rules:
- keep an open bottle tightly closed;
- store in a dark, cool place;
- avoid sudden changes in temperature.
Liqueur is a very "capricious" alcoholic drink and is picky about storage conditions. Homemade syrups based on berries or fruits can be stored for about a year, and with the addition of spices up to 2 years. And if the storage conditions are not followed, the product will deteriorate much earlier.
The opened bottle must be tightly closed and placed in a dry and dark place.Under such storage conditions, the tincture will not lose its properties and will not deteriorate within 5-6 months.
Alcohol freezes in the refrigerator. After defrosting, it will become thick and likely to retain its flavor profile. The best storage conditions - at home - lack of light, moisture, sudden temperature changes, heating devices and the location of the product away from direct sunlight.
If all these conditions for storing homemade delicacies are observed, then the maximum shelf life of the alcoholic composition can be from 6 to 24 months.
Conclusion
Homemade pear liqueur is a sweet, low-alcohol drink with a delicate, fruity aroma. Combine perfectly with desserts. It can be served with meat, drunk neat or with cocktails.
