Ingredients
- 6 ounce maraschino cherries jar
- ½ cup Cinnamon Whiskey Note 1
Instructions
- Drain the grenadine syrup from your jar of cherries. You can reserve some to add back to the spiked cherries for flavor.
- Place the cherries in a 8-12 oz mason jar.
- Fill the jar with cinnamon whiskey, or a combination of cinnamon whiskey and the grenadine syrup. Ensure that the cherries are completely submerged - you can use a bit of balled up cheesecloth or wax paper to push the cherries down, if needed.
- Lightly attach the mason jar lid. Place in a cool, dry spot for 3 days.(NOTE: you can store the cherries like this for up to 6 months.)
- Add to cocktails, desserts or give as a homemade gift.
Notes
Note 1: Use any cinnamon flavored whiskey such as Fireball. Also, if the cherries are not completely covered, use more whiskey.
Variations:
Feel free to change up the liquor and use bourbon, rum, tequila, or vodka. The ratios remain the same and you can have a bevy of infused cherries. If you decide to use fresh cherries, the shelf life is not as long as using maraschino cherries. They would last about 6-7 days in a mason jar.
