Sweet Cherry Liqueur 1 Ingredients: 591 ml sweet cherries (Bing) 376 ml 100 proof Vodka (non-flavored) 148 ml simple syrup 2-6 drops lemon extract Instructions: Into a quart jar, add cherries that have been cut in half and pitted. Add alcohol and water to cover cherries. Macerate, tightly covered 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature, shaking daily. Filter through cheesecloth and then through a coffee filter; add simple syrup and lemon extract (optional). Next add (top with) water to bring the total volume up to 25.4 ounces. The liqueur is very good at this point; it will become smoother if it is aged for a few weeks or more. |
