    Can I use Hennessy instead?

    Yes, if you prefer brandy over vodka, go for it. All spirits will soak strawberries equally well, it's all about personal preference. I personally like them soaked in strawberry liqueur, it heightens the strawberry flavor to an incredible extent.

    You could also use vodka for this because this process actually works for any fruit and vodka doesn't have much of its own flavor.

    Some adults feel a touch of alcohol gives a level of sophistication to simple things, such as fruit. If you dislike the taste of vodka, enjoy your strawberries au naturel.
  • Question
    Do the strawberries get soggy after being soaked in alcohol?
    Qamar
    Top Answerer
    If the strawberries are fresh and ripe, they will not. Old strawberries tend to get soggy because they can't soak up enough liquid without softening.
  • Question
    How long will the strawberries last if stored in a fridge?
    Qamar

    You don't want to store them longer than a week, since they will begin to get soggy and lose a lot of their flavor. Consume them as soon as they've finished soaking, if you can.
