Turned out quite tart and sour even though we used fresh, sweet blueberrires. Some berries were good after being soaked for almost 3 months but some looked brownish. I think these brown berries added to the slightly bad/fermented taste. Found it was good to drink if mixed with carbonated water or Sprite and or blueberry juice/cocktail.

I have 50 highbush blueberry bushes so I am always looking for recipes. It's as easy as 1-2-3: one, two, three cups. If I forget which is which, it's easy enought to reason out. It works well with other fruit. I almost prefer it with blackberries or raspberries. I have to have it over ice to cut the cloying sugary taste. I might try it with less sugar and/or different alcohols. I've heard rum is also good for this kind of recipe. It is definitely adaptable.

This was pretty good. It was too sweet for me though, next time I will cut the amount of sugar in half.

Wonderful. Gave as gifts and everyone raved. Personally, I would use a little less sugar next time. Great liqueur.

Very Strong. The only thing I had to mix with when I tried it was Diet Orange Crush. That was pretty good. I think if you mixed it with 7UP that would be good.

I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! It is absolutely delicious! Tastes just like fresh blueberries!!! I sipped it by itself and also mixed it with some Sprite! It's great either way. I wish I had made more!!! The blueberries are stronger than the actual drink I think! Yummy yummy yummy! I'm going to go out and buy more blueberries so I can make some for my upcoming Halloween Party!

Just started a batch for year 3. First year I made it I only doubled the recipe. It was really good. Last year I made more. Still great. Last year, I used berries from late in the season. It has almost a cinnamin spice taste it. I am thinking that year each berries will have slightly different flavors. Can't wait for the holidays to see how this years berries taste.

I had planned to make pies, cobblers, and various desserts during blueberry picking season in Alaska but why waste a good berry. All kidding aside, this liqueur would make a great Christmas gift, along with a tasty drizzle over "snow ice cream."
