Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPit and halve the cherries.
As in all vodka recipes, it is important that the flesh of the fruit be somehow exposed.
Fill a jar with the cherries, but do not pack it.
Pour the vodka on top and seal tightly.
Leave in a dark place, preferably for at least 2 weeks—or up to 6 months.
At the end of that time, open the jar and strain.
If you have a very fine-mesh strainer, that will do.
If not, use an ordinary strainer lined with a cheesecloth or even a coffee filter.
Set the strainer over a large bowl, ideally one from which you'll be able to easily pour afterward.
Pour the vodka mixture through the strainer and allow the fruit to sit, seeping liquid, for a good hour or so, stirring a bit and pressing if need be to make the liquid go through.
Now taste the vodka.
Add sugar if you want an after-dinner liqueur, or leave it out if you want something sharper.
Pour (or ladle) into a decorative bottle.
