CHERRY VODKA
Steps:
- Pit and halve the cherries. As in all vodka recipes, it is important that the flesh of the fruit be somehow exposed.
- Fill a jar with the cherries, but do not pack it. Pour the vodka on top and seal tightly. Leave in a dark place, preferably for at least 2 weeks-or up to 6 months. At the end of that time, open the jar and strain. If you have a very fine-mesh strainer, that will do. If not, use an ordinary strainer lined with a cheesecloth or even a coffee filter. Set the strainer over a large bowl, ideally one from which you'll be able to easily pour afterward. Pour the vodka mixture through the strainer and allow the fruit to sit, seeping liquid, for a good hour or so, stirring a bit and pressing if need be to make the liquid go through.
- Now taste the vodka. Add sugar if you want an after-dinner liqueur, or leave it out if you want something sharper. Pour (or ladle) into a decorative bottle.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Cherries: Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Pit the Cherries: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. This will make it easier to eat the cherries and will also help to prevent the pits from spoiling the vodka.
- Use High-Quality Vodka: Choose a high-quality vodka that is smooth and flavorful. This will help to ensure that the cherry vodka has a great taste.
- Use a Clean Jar: Make sure the jar you are using to infuse the vodka is clean and sterilized. This will help to prevent the vodka from becoming contaminated.
- Store the Cherry Vodka Properly: Store the cherry vodka in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the vodka.
