Cherry Brandy
A super easy recipe for how to make cherry brandy, a retro favourite from the cocktail cabinate
Ingredients
- 500 ml brandy
- 600 g fresh cherries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Stone the cherries (remove the pits) and pop them into a large clean jar
- add the brandy, sugar and cinnamon stick
- seal the jar and shake well, put away in a dark cupboard for 2 weeks shaking regularly
- strain through either 2 layers of muslin/cheese cloth or kitchen roll
- decant into a sterilised bottle
Notes
This homemade cherry brandy is ready to drink once you have let it mature for the 2 weeks and then strained it into sterilised bottles.
Use on its own or as part of a cocktail.
This will make approximately 500ml of cherry brandy and I have taken the calories from 1 shot.
You can use frozen cherries, just defrost them first.
