indescribably delicious

The homemade elderberry juice can be substituted with store-bought (organic) juice. The sugar quantity will need to be adjusted, as homemade juice is usually a bit more acidic. Boil some of the juice with all the spices, flavorings, and sugar, then add the espresso. Once cooled, combine with the rum and bottle. The liqueur is ready to drink. If you like, you can strain the liqueur. I personally like the flavors to develop even more over time. Shake before use!
