English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3476 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Use ¼ vedro spirit with 18 zolotniks coarsely crushed allspice or ordinary pepper and keep in warmth for about two weeks.
Strain and combine with syrup from 3 glasses water and 1½–2 pounds sugar, then finish as for raspberry vodka in recipe No. 3469.
Historical editorial note: The linked historic spirit-purification method is documentary rather than validated safe practice.
