I am Livya from Greece, I'm 27 years old, I love cooking and I work as graphic-web designer.
It’s never occurred to me to make my own liqueur, but why the heck not! Great idea!
thanks! I’m glad you liked the recipe! please, try it and tell me your opinion!
I’ve just harvested a lot of pomegranates from my tree and I’m making jellies, but I didn’t know one could make liquor as well. I’m seriously thinking about trying it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
yes, it’s pomegranates’ season and we have plenty of them too!
Sadly pomegranates just don’t grow here, so I have to buy mine in the market. If we were to use tsipouro would that not impart too much taste and flavor of licanzo? We used to make tsipouro ev year, but has now been quite a few years since we have made it. Thnx for the idea to make some pomegranate liquer.
@tcmaryf
licanzo is an optional ingredient for tsipouro. you can try to find tsipouro without it. and if you can’t just use pure vodka because the taste of licanzo would not let the taste of pomegranates come out.
Oh I bet this is a mighty tasty liqueur. What a great idea to make your own!
I love this idea. Pomegranates here I come!

What a great use of pomegranate juice! I will have to give this a try, for sure! Great job
POMS ARE EXPENSIVE THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD THAT WE CAN ONLY THINK OF EATING THEM FRESH HAHA.BUT I LOVED THIS RECIPE AND AM NOTING IT.
that is a great idea. i really envy you coz you can use poms and make your own liqueur. i hope i can find poms where i’m at
This sounds wonderful! I love POM liquer, but I am sure your home made liquer is waaaay better! I love the addition of cinnamon. Thanks for sharing
