Ingredients

  • 30 fresh cherries pitted
  • 750 mL plain vodka

Instructions

  • Place your pitted cherries in the bottle or container that you'll use for infusing the vodka.
  • Fill the bottle with vodka.
  • Store it in a cool dry place for 3-5 days, giving it a gentle shake occasionally.
  • Once the vodka has been infused to your liking, strain out and discard the cherries.
  • Continue to store the vodka in a cool dry place for about 6 weeks or in the fridge for about 3 months.

Notes

  • The recipe uses an entire 750 mL bottle of vodka; the photos depict a half-batch
  • 1 serving size = 1.5 ounce shot of vodka
  • You can also use frozen cherries instead of fresh
  • Use a good, but not great, vodka for this recipe. I use Smirnoff. No need to get Grey Goose or anything.
