A fun way to make your own cherry-infused liquor dessert drink. Tart cherries are the real star of this recipe. This is usually made in August and traditionally served with Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Warning: The cherries are very strong after a few months, so eat responsibly. Serve over ice with Sierra Mist or Sprite to cut the liquor strength. Liquor-soaked cherries are also very good over vanilla ice cream for a fun adult dessert.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 cups pitted tart cherries (such as Door County cherries)

  • ⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste

  • 1 cup vodka, or as needed

Directions

  1. Put cherries in a clean, 1-quart glass jar; add sugar. Fill the rest of the jar with vodka. Place lid on jar and shake. Cherries will float in the beginning and will settle in time.

  2. Store jar in a cool, dark area for 1 to 4 months, shaking jar occasionally.

Recipe Tip


Use any liquor (rum, brandy, etc.) in place of the vodka if desired.
