Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 2 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces ginger ale
6 ounces ginger beer
4 ounces vodka
2 limes, juiced, plus wedges, for garnish
3 splashes cherry juice

Steps:

  • Divide the ginger ale, ginger beer, vodka, lime juice and cherry juice between 2 lowball glasses or copper mugs. Stir to combine. Add ice and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh cherries: The quality of your cherries will have a big impact on the flavor of your vodka. Look for cherries that are plump, dark red, and free of blemishes.
  • Use good quality vodka: A smooth, high-quality vodka will produce the best results. Avoid using cheap, harsh vodkas, as they will overpower the delicate flavor of the cherries.
  • Pit the cherries: Before infusing the vodka, you will need to pit the cherries. This can be done using a cherry pitter or by hand. If you are using a cherry pitter, be careful not to crush the cherries.
  • Use a clean jar: Use a clean, glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for infusing the vodka. This will help to prevent contamination and ensure that the vodka infuses properly.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the vodka to infuse with the cherries. The longer you let it infuse, the more flavorful it will be. However, you don't want to infuse it for too long, as the vodka can start to extract bitter flavors from the cherries.

Conclusion:

Door County cherry vodka is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed on its own, mixed with other ingredients, or used in cocktails. It is a great way to enjoy the flavors of Door County cherries all year long. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own Door County cherry vodka at home.
