Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jar maraschino cherries with stems (about 20–24 cherries)
- 1 cup cherry vodka (or your preferred liquor)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate for dipping (optional, for a chocolate-covered version)
Instructions
- Drain the maraschino cherries and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the stems if desired for easier handling.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water, heating over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the cherry vodka (or your choice of liquor) into a medium bowl. Add the sugar-water mixture and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Place the cherries in the bowl and stir gently to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor infusion.
- If desired, melt some chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Dip each cherry into the melted chocolate, then place it on a parchment-lined tray to cool and set.
- Once the cherries are soaked and, if desired, coated in chocolate, serve them cold as a fun, boozy treat! Enjoy responsibly!
Notes
- You can also use other flavored liquors like rum, whiskey, or tequila for different twists on this treat.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can skip the sugar-water mixture and use only the alcohol.
- These cherries can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
- For a festive touch, garnish the cherries with a small piece of mint or a decorative paper umbrella before serving.
