Cherry tincture at home. Drink with cherry leaves

Cherry tincture on vodka (moonshine, alcohol) is called "cherry" and is highly valued among lovers of homemade alcohol. The berry quickly neutralizes the sharp vodka taste, as a result, the tincture is fragrant with a sweet and sour taste. This is a wonderful feminine or dessert drink. We will look at three proven cooking recipes.

It is better to take large cherries of sweet varieties. Suitable fresh, dried and frozen berries sold in supermarkets all year round. In the latter case, the cherries are first thawed and infused together with the thawed liquid.

The proportions of sugar can be changed at your discretion, focusing on the taste and sweetness of the selected variety. In the case of sweet berries, I advise you to make sugar-free cherry tincture according to the first or second recipe. The drink will turn out stronger with a more pronounced aroma of raw materials (male version).

The alcohol base can be vodka, purified odorless moonshine, diluted with water to 40-45% alcohol, or cheap cognac (suitable for the 1st and 2nd recipes). Cherry tincture on cognac differs from vodka counterparts in its original tannic aftertaste.

It is believed that cherry pits contain harmful hydrocyanic acid, so they must be removed. However, the concentration of dangerous impurities is minimal and sugar neutralizes the effect of hydrocyanic acid on the body, and the absence of seeds has a bad effect on taste (there is no characteristic almond flavor). Everyone can solve this issue by choosing the appropriate recipe.
