How to Make Cherry Liqueur
- Combine all ingredients in a large, clean glass jar.
- Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Seal the jar tightly with an airtight lid.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for a minimum of 3 months, ideally 6-12 months for optimal flavor development. The longer it ages, the smoother and more complex the flavor will become!
- Once the aging period is complete, carefully strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cherries and solids.
- Bottle the strained liqueur in sterilized bottles, seal tightly, and store in a cool, dark place.
