Cherry liqueur on vodka
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. If you prefer stronger beverages, I recommend making this liqueur in 0.7-liter jars. In that case, you might need slightly fewer cherries. If you like alcoholic drinks of medium strength, feel free to use 1-liter jars. Serve chilled.

Step 1
1. First, thoroughly rinse the berries. Pour vodka into a prepared clean jar. Then add the cherries. It is important that the vodka rises to the very top of the jar.

2. This drink, in addition to its main flavor and divine aroma, has a pleasant bitterness provided by cherry pits. If you wish to enhance the bitterness, take out several pits (5-7) and crush them using a hammer. It's convenient to do this by first wrapping the pits in a plastic bag. Add the crushed pits to the jar with the future liqueur. Now tightly close the jar with a lid and let the liqueur infuse for 3 months in a dark place (at room temperature).

3. After the required amount of time has passed, remove the jar and strain the infusion into another dry, clean jar. Add sugar and mix thoroughly. I would still recommend adding sugar gradually, a little at a time, tasting as you go, since everyone's taste preferences are different. The cherries that remain can easily be used in cooking, for example, in baking.
