3 c. sugar
3 c. water
1 qt. fresh raspberries
1 qt. inexpensive whiskey or brandy

Simmer the sugar and water until sugar is dissolved. Cool. Pour over raspberries in a wide mouth jar. Add the liquor. Cover loosely and set aside for 3 months. Pour off through a sieve and put into decanter. A good after dinner drink or over ice; the liqueur turns a bright pink.
