Cherry vodka

• cherry↗400g g
• caster sugar↗200g g
• bottle vodka↗70cl cl

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Slit the cherries, but don’t cut them in half.

2. 2

   Put in a pan with the sugar and 150ml water, then heat, stirring gently, until the juices run and the sugar has dissolved.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat, then spoon into a large bottle or jar.

4. 4

   Add the vodka and mix well. Seal, then leave for 4 weeks before drinking to let the flavours steep. For ice cold vodka, keep the bottle in the freezer (it won’t freeze solid) or simply decant into a carafe, if you like.
