Ingredients
  

  • 400 Grams Maraschino Cherries (14.1 oz)
  • 60 ml Brandy (2oz or 4 Tablespoons)
  • 22.5 ml Amaretto (¾ oz or 1 ½ Tablespoons)
  • 22.5 ml Maraschino Liqueur (¾ oz or 1 ½ Tablespoons)

Equipment

  • Mason Jar with Lid
  • Strainer
  • Bowl
  • Measuring Cup
  • Measuring Equipment (Jigger is recommended, but a Tablespoon will work)

Method
 

  1. Remove the cherries from the jar using a strainer and bowl to help separate the syrup, which will be needed.
  2. Funnel the syrup into a measuring cup so you can clearly determine how much syrup there is.
  3. Put half the syrup in a mason jar, and put the rest of the syrup aside.
  4. Next, add the 3 liquors to the syrup and shake to combine well.
  5. Put the cherries into the jar and gently shake to mix.
  6. The liquid should be above the cherries. If it’s not, you add some of the leftover syrup.
  7. Label with the date and store the jar in the fridge for at least 1 month before using.
