Instructions
- remove the stones from the cherries and put all ingredients into a large jar, pop on the lid and give it a shake.

Notes
I have measured the calorie content etc in this as taking the 500ml of liqueur as 20 shots.
This cherry liqueur will keep for up to a year in a cupboard.
Serve on its own at room temperature or seriously chilled, with ice or as part of a cocktail.
Keep the booze-soaked cherry flesh to make jam or as a boozy topping for ice cream.
