How to Make Peachcello Liqueur!

12 August 2017
Introduction Last few weeks I have played around with the new iStill Extractor Column a lot. One of the most interesting recipes I produced is a drink made with peaches. It's not exactly a liqueur (because the recipe only uses 100 grams of sugar per liter), and it is not really a "cello" either, since it is made with the fruit flesh and not with the fruit skins. But it is good. Darn good! Here is an instruction, with pictures, on how to make it, using the iStill 100 and the new Extractor Column. Same procedure holds for the iStill 500, iStill 2000, and iStill 5000 with their related - and bigger - Extractor Columns. Ingredients, preparation, GNS production, fruit handling, extraction and bottling, it's all there ... Ingredients What you need is:
  • Lots of sugar, water, and turbo yeast (to make the GNS - if you are not buying it in);
  • 25 kilo's of peaches (to extract taste from).
