How to Make Maraschino Cherries (Booze in the Kitchen) - DIY Homemade Maraschino Cherries

Описание: Maraschino Cherries are not what they once were. They used to be for adults, not kids, sticky fingers or sundaes. So, let's take it back and bring the booze back to the cherries. These are important garnishes in a lot of cocktails and essential to your bar.

This is officially the first episode of Booze in the Kitchen. Cooking is going to be a big part of your home bartending experience from now on.

Proper Maraschino Cherries are not always easy to come by. Luxardo makes a good batch (link below). But if you're so inclined, you should give it a try. Time to polish off your Home Ec skills and work some magic in the kitchen, all in the name of better booze.




Recipe:
2 lbs. Cherries (Marasca if possible, but a firm, sour cherry will do)
2 cups Maraschino Liqueur
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Cinnamon Sticks
Pinch of Freshly Grated Nutmeg

Wash and pit Cherries
