Steps:
- Rinse the cherries and pick out any bruised, soft or damaged fruit.
- Use a pair of kitchen sheers to trim the stems to about 1/2" long.
- Pack the cherries into a jar, filling it tightly and to the top.
- Use a funnel to fill the jar about 1/3 of the way with sugar.
- Fill the jar to the top with vodka and seal the lid on tightly.
- Shake and roll the jar in your hands until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place the jar in a cool dark spot for at least two weeks or longer (My friend Nola goes a full six months). Shake or roll the jar every so often a few times if you're going with a shorter soak and at least once a month if you're going for longer.

Steps:
- Start by removing cherries from the cherry juice. Put in a jar that has a lid.
- Pour in your cup of alcohol, and seal the jar. Soak cherries for 4 hours to overnight. The longer the cherries soak in the alcohol the stronger it will become.
- Remove cherries from the alcohol and place them on a towel to dry off. This step is needed so the chocolate can stick to the cherries.
- Then in a bowl melt your chocolate and shortening. I did mine in the microwave.
- Dip each cherry in chocolate and then set to dry on parchment paper. If you want add sprinkles!

Steps:
- In large bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until well mixed and sugar is dissolved.
- Ladle mixture into one 24 oz. (1-1/2 pints) glass jar; store, tightly covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm cherries for the best results. Overripe or bruised cherries will not hold their shape as well in the syrup.
- Use a variety of liqueurs to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include brandy, bourbon, rum, and vodka. You can also use a combination of liqueurs.
- Be patient when macerating the cherries. The longer the cherries macerate, the more flavor they will absorb from the liqueur.
- Store the drunken cherries in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to 2 months.
- Serve the drunken cherries as a dessert, cocktail garnish, or on top of ice cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Drunken cherries are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be stored for up to 2 months, making them a great option for holiday entertaining. So next time you have a party or gathering, be sure to make a batch of drunken cherries to impress your guests.
