Why the Tussi Liqueur is ready in 10 minutes
Most liqueurs need cooking time because sweets have to be melted or fruit cooked down. The Tussi Liqueur skips all of that: the tinned peaches are already soft, the passion fruit juice brings the acidity and the double cream emulsifies everything into a smooth, creamy mixture. We pulverise the sugar (8 seconds, speed 10), blend the peaches with the yoghurt (10 seconds, speed 10) and stir in the rest (5 seconds, speed 4). No heating required.
The 300 g of peach and passion fruit yoghurt is the trick that makes this liqueur so velvety. The yoghurt binds the cream and fruit juice together, giving the liqueur a consistency that is thicker than pure juice but lighter than an egg liqueur.
20 g cognac: why so little, and why it matters
20 g of cognac sounds like nothing in 1.5 litres of total volume. But you do not taste it as cognac. Instead, it rounds off the fruit. Without it, the liqueur is one-dimensionally sweet. With it, the peach and passion fruit mixture gains a warm depth that you cannot quite name but immediately miss when it is gone.
The white rum (250 g) provides the main alcohol base. If you prefer not to use rum, vodka works too, though you lose the subtle caramel note. Grain spirit also works but gives the liqueur a sharper finish.
Storage and serving
Fill the liqueur into sterilised bottles and put them straight in the fridge. Because of the cream, it is more delicate than clear liqueurs: keep for a maximum of one week. Shake well before serving, as the fruit and cream can separate.
Best served ice cold from the fridge in small glasses or as a shot. For parties, put the bottles in the freezer an hour before serving. At this alcohol content the liqueur will not freeze solid but becomes pleasantly thick.
Without cream, without alcohol, with mango: three variations
Without cream: Leave out the 250 g of double cream and replace it with 250 g more passion fruit juice. The liqueur will be thinner and fruitier, but keeps a little longer (up to 10 days).
Without alcohol: Leave out the rum and cognac and replace them with 270 g of passion fruit juice. The result is more of a creamy fruit drink than a liqueur, but works well as a dessert drink or for children at parties.
Mango instead of peach: Use 300 g of tinned mango and mango and passion fruit yoghurt. The colour becomes a more intense yellow and the flavour turns more tropical.

Can I use fresh peaches?
Yes, but peel, stone and cut the peaches into pieces first. Fresh peaches are firmer than tinned peaches and take slightly longer to blend (15 seconds instead of 10 at speed 10). The flavour will be more intense, but sweetness varies depending on ripeness. Add up to 20 g more sugar if needed.
