Homemade cherry vodka

[DrDonnyBrago]

Back in February I started to steep some cherries in vodka, left it with the fruit in for a few months in a large kilner jar in my wardrobe and finally decided to bottle and taste it today...

Recipe for those who care:

1l vodka
400g cherry
200g sugar


The spirit itself tastes slightly like almonds because I left the stones in but is actually quite smooth and sweet. It tasted as harsh as hell a few months ago.

The cherries though taste like pure vodka with only the slightest hint of sweetness. I made some cherry coke and finished what wouldn't fit in the jam jar in the picture (about 1 1/2 glasses full) and am slightly pissed from it already .

Would recommend it and I'll be trying a different fruit next time .

Damn, I did that a while back with some fresh cherries, only I slung it out cos they went all brown (a bit like yours are)

*snaps fingers*, darn! Wish I'da kept it now.

Enjoy!

With a pound of sugar in there I'm not surprised it tastes sweet, still probably not much sugar compared to alcopops though I guess.

A friend was recently telling me he had steeped chillis in vodka, and he had some recently and it gives it a nice kick.

I think bcf is more about chillis than cherries, as when ariel hasnt mentioned chillis for a while, someone else will.

i'd forgotten, and then its repeated on bcf

Skittles are for rotting chavbaby teeth, not putting in decent vodka (or maybe for putting in shite vodka to rot chav-adult teeth, then).

You don't look like a chav, Molly.

No no no you misunderstand me.

You can do the whole "dump bags of skittles" into a bottle of vodka. Or you could do it Newcastle style. some bar sells 2 pints of skittles, you get blue or red. Tastes exactly like skittles and you can't taste any alcohol but it's very very potent. I asked the girls how it's made but I got too drunk to remember the recipe





An I is a well wikid chav init 'kat? So bangin' I is bout to bust out my burberry cap coz I gots swagga, boi betta know!

Hey hey less of the cherry bashing, I wanted some sloe gin but it is very expensive to buy and difficult/awkward to make in february. It is very sweet, but then it isn't supposed to be drunk by the pint (it is about 25-30% ABV afterall) and most of it will be mixed with something else anyway. I'm thinking mostly alcoholic cherry coke .

Will try the chilli vodka, hadn't thought of that .

I have tried skittles infusions and they are proper btw .

[Charlie]

Parents have made sloe gin before and have had it from several other people, very sweet!

You should find a sloe tree so that you can harvest some and make your own slow gin next time round

I'm more of a homemade damson gin type - largely cause I can get buckets of damsons for free, but also because it tastes VERY nice!

I have been eyeing up a sloe bush not far from me recently, I will go down and nab a load come sept/august - I have been drinking the Plymouth sloe gin though, it's amazing but costs £15 a bottle!

I have never tried damson gin, although I have heard good reviews .

[Charlie]

It is a good also. I have tried chili vodka too and that is nice Although not a big fan of vodka... maybe I should try decent quality stuff for a change

It actually tastes fit, did this years ago and it gets you trollied as you can't feel the strength of it.

Skittles vodka.

For the suicidal. We did this, got a cheap bottled of Tesco's own brand vodka (gutrot.) poured a wee bit out, yucked in a value bag of skittles (green ones too, we're hardcore) then left it in the fridge for three days.

I have in the past strained it but didn't bother this time, sat round late at night (about 6 of us) with a pack of cards and played strip poker... I'm joking, we took a card of the top, if it was higher than a six you took a shot, lower; you got to pass.

I felt very unwell the following morning.

Yup, when I played it in Newcastle we used 2 decks.

When it came to the final row (5 shots per card) it turned out only 2 people had the other 7 cards. Somehow. And we were all puzzled as to why they hadn't got anyone to drink before!


Wel lthe fuckers gave me 5 cards and 2 to someone else.


Tell you now, 25 shots of a"punch" consisting of southern comfort, tequila, vodka, gin, malibu, some cheap coconut bitch drink and a little bit of orange juice is fucking potent.

Then I got "manned up" which is basically have a shot with a friend of only So Co. I nearly felt like throwing up



Good times

Take the cherries, melt some chocolate and dip them in it.
Leave to cool and serve.
Females like that sort of thing!
