Cherry Moonshine Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla bean pods sliced in half lengthwise
- 16 ounce bag of frozen sweet cherries
- 1 pint good vodka or grain alcohol
Instructions
- Use a small spoon to scrape the seeds from your vanilla beans into a quart-sized mason jar, then drop the beans in there too.
- Dump your cherries into the same jar, top off with the grain alcohol, and give the whole thing a good shake.
- Stick it into the refrigerator for at 3-6 days, shaking once a day. You can serve this up after a few days, or wait longer to let the cherry flavor get even stronger. I liked how it looked and tasted after 5 days of steeping.
- If you’re not straining: Store your cherry moonshine in the fridge. It will last 2-3 weeks.
- If you are straining: Once your cherry moonshine is as strong as you want it to be, strain it into a forever container and store in the fridge or freezer. This sucker will last for years!
Notes
If you’re planning to drink all of your moonshine within a few weeks, you don’t need to worry about straining out the fruit. Strained, though, you can keep that infused booze in the fridge or freezer for years. It’s totally your call!
