The option of tincture without vodka will especially appeal to women if they prefer the brightness of taste and not a special strength.

Cherry liqueur without vodka, ladies will like it

To make a drink, you will need 2 kilograms of ripened cherry berries, from which you must first remove the seeds. This procedure will avoid the potentially negative effect of tannins, which are contained in the bones.
Next, take a three-liter jar and pour 150-200 grams of sugar on the bottom. Now you can fill in prepared cherry too.
Continue adding layers of cherries and sugar. All your cherries should eventually fit in a jar, and with it another 800-850 grams of sugar.
How often you will alternate berries and sugar can be decided at your discretion, but remember that thin, often changing layers will speed up the process of interaction between the ingredients.
Now pour 200-250 milliliters of water in a jar. Do not forget about the physics of fermentation - for the emitted gas and foam, an additional volume will be needed, therefore, pouring a jar at the very neck is not worth it. It will be enough to add water to the level of the coat hanger.
A medical glove should be worn on the jar, for reliable fixation it can additionally be tied to the neck. A rubber ring or rope would be a suitable way to fasten in this case. In order for the fermentation gases to escape, one of the fingers of the glove must be punctured. You can also use a water shutter.
Now put the jar in a sunny place where the temperature will be maintained at 18-29 degrees. The best place would be a windowsill, possibly a balcony. The glove on the jar will serve as a timer for you, it will reliably show the beginning of the fermentation process and its end. In the first case, it is inflated, at the end of the procedure, it is accordingly lowered.
When the glove drops, proceed to drain the liquid from the can. The first priority is to separate the drink from the cherry pulp, so that the filter at this stage can be with relatively large holes. A regular nylon cap will do. Do not worry about sediment that may enter the vessel. But after two weeks, for which the liquid settles, it will need to be filtered more thoroughly. Cotton wool or gauze folded in several layers is suitable for this stage of cleaning.
Now the filling can be bottled and corked. In principle, the drink is ready for consumption at this stage, but additional exposure will not hinder it. If you let the liquor stand in the bottles for another month, the taste of the home-made drink will only get better. The result, when properly stored in a cool and dark place, will delight you up to 3 years. However, so long a good drink is unlikely to last, because guests will appreciate it and will definitely ask for more.

For a change, they can be offered other varieties of the drink, stronger. Cherry liqueur at home on vodka will be the next step in the development of the production of original homemade alcohol. Such a drink will turn out to be much stronger, although when consumed it can always be diluted with a suitable juice - apple, orange, cherry - to your taste.

Now that you already have experience in making homemade alcohol, the recipe will seem to you quite simple. So, we tell you how to make cherry liquor on vodka.

Wash the ripened berries properly, pierce them with a needle or a toothpick, and begin to fall asleep in a jar. So far, one layer of berries is enough.

The proportions are as follows: for one liter of cherry sugar you need to put in only 4-5 tablespoons, which at the output will give the drink a moderately sweet. After the first successful bottles, you will be able to experiment with this parameter, because someone will surely love both the dessert and semi-dry versions.

Now add the main distinguishing ingredient in our recipe - quality alcohol. It can be not only vodka, but also diluted alcohol (up to a fortress of 40-45 degrees), purified moonshine, even cognac. Pour alcohol to the very top of the can.

After closing - pay attention to the clogging density - the jar should be stored at room temperature in a dark place. With a frequency of several days, the contents should be shaken to speed up the dissolution of sugar.

After two months, the finished mixture will need to be filtered, as previously cotton wool or gauze will help here. Once the cherries are removed, the remaining liquid can be drunk, in this case, no additional wait. A stronger version is recommended for use chilled.

After two months, strain the mixture and you can drink

Cognac, rum and further experiments

Pouring cherry on vodka, as we have already indicated, is not the only version of this tincture for strong alcohol. To give a special nobleness to the drink, you can continue the experiments and use cognac, brandy, rum as the alcohol-containing base.

The cognac variant will require 0.75 liters of an alcoholic beverage, 750 grams of cherries and 120 grams of sugar for the preparation.

As before, we pierce the berries, put them in a jar, pour cognac so that the liquid covers the berries in the jar. We don’t put sugar yet! We stand the month in a dark cool place, filter. Now you need to add sugar (in the amount indicated above) and another 250 milliliters of cognac. Poured sugar should dissolve in the liquid, for which it will take some time to prevent it. Store in the refrigerator for a while, when the tincture brightens, it can be drunk.

Pour cherry over cognac so that it covers the berries. We stand the month, filter. Add sugar and another 250 ml of cognac, when the tincture brightens, you can drink it

The mixed version with vodka and cognac uses 0.6 liters of cognac and 0.35 liters of vodka, so there is more alcohol in total, but they don’t spare cherries and sugar here, they take a kilogram. At the output, the product is, of course, sweet. Well washed and sorted ripe berries in this case require a little more attention - each one should not be punctured, but incised to the visible bone. We fill the cherries with sugar in the jar - we don’t pour alcohol yet! - and wait 3-4 hours until the process passes and the liquid comes out of the berries. Now you can add vodka with cognac, stir until most of the sugar in the solution disappears. After closing the cans, this drink is stored for 2-3 months until everything is ready in the same cool and dark place.

Cognac

To help the extraction process, you can periodically shake the jars - it will be enough to do this 2-3 times a month. After waiting for the right time, we filter and pour into containers for final storage, that is, bottles. Tasting and sharing with other experiences and a drink.

The brandy and rum variant can be called elite, you don’t want to share such a valuable drink with anyone, because it is so good with hot tea on winter evenings. The proportions are as follows: for 1 kilogram of berries 0.5 - sugar, that is 2: 1. Alcohol will need a total liter - 0.75 brandy and 0.25 rum.

Rum
Brandy

After the traditional sorting and washing of cherries, we remove the seeds from only half of the berries. We put it in a jar and sprinkle with sugar, wait for the juice to come out. Now we watch how sugar dissolves in this juice itself, patience, it can take several days. Then you can add alcohol, rum and cognac (brandy) in the above amounts, pour this time all at once. Mix well and wait again, for a month the drink will be infused, filtered, bottled. As you can see, the process of making all these drinks has much in common.

Having tried in practice all the recipes from the article, you studied and consolidated them, now you can take the title of master of cherry filling and treat yourself to tea with 2-3 teaspoons of your elite product.

Drying, spices and other highlights

But do not relax, go to the next level. When you have played enough with various alcoholic bases, try adding spices to the liquor or tincture. Cinnamon and cloves are good for tincture on cognac or alcohol. You can also add nutmeg to your vodka drink. Drying the berries in the sun for 3-4 days or in the oven for 3-5 hours at 60-80 degrees will give the final product a special, noble taste. So, cook with spices.

If you have pure alcohol, dilute it to 50%, otherwise take a prepared alcoholic drink of the same strength. Here we add 400 grams of sugar, cherries in a volume of 2-2.5 liters. The spices in this recipe are half a stick of cinnamon, 4-10 cloves. We recall our non-alcoholic recipe - we also pour berries in a jar with sugar in layers, but now we close the neck of the jar with a piece of cotton cloth that is thick enough, put in a warm place and wait for the fermentation to begin. At this stage, remove the fabric and fill the mixture with alcohol at the very neck of the jar, add the spices in the indicated quantity. The term for insisting liquid before filtering in this recipe is relatively short - 2 weeks, after which we filter, filter, as we usually use gauze and cotton wool. Do not forget to squeeze the cherry. True, after bottling you will have to wait another month, but the result with its unique taste and aroma is worth it. It is best to use tincture after eating as a digestif. Offer it to your women, the drink is quite soft and at the same time very fragrant.

And our final number - the richest in spices and lotions recipe for 2 kilograms of cherries, a liter of vodka and 10 tablespoons of sugar (tablespoons). Of the spices you will need 10 buds of cloves, half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and the same amount of nutmeg. This time, wash the cherry after washing. Pre-puncture, lay in a jar layer by layer, in addition to sugar, separate layers of spices are also included, continue until the jar is full by two-thirds. Now add alcohol (vodka) until the berry mass is completely covered almost to the neck. We dress the neck of the jar with a thick cloth or clog it as usual and put it on the sunny side of the window. For two months, mix every 2-3 days and wait, and then filter and drink. Enjoy your drinking and your friends!

Homemade Cherry Cherry Recipes

At home, cherry liquors are prepared both by natural fermentation, and using vodka, moonshine, cognac or brandy.

"Classical" on vodka

It’s easy to prepare this liqueur, since no seeds need to be freed from the seeds. Take:

about 2 kg of fresh cherries (so that in a three-liter jar it was higher than the shoulders);
1.5-1.7 liters of vodka. also suitable if it does not have a pungent odor;
700-800 g of sugar.

Put the washed and washed berries in a jar and pour vodka. Cover and send to the cellar or refrigerator for two weeks.

Attention. Shake the jar daily to make it easier for moonshine (vodka) to extract extractives from raw materials.

Then strain the alcohol and close it in a separate bowl. Pour the cherries in the jar with sugar. Place both containers for 2 weeks in the dark and cool. Shake berries with sugar periodically to take away juice more fully.

By the end of the two-week infusion, it should turn into a syrup without sugar residues. It's time to mix the filtered syrup with an alcohol base. But do not drink yet. Let the can with the liquor stand for several days in the room. During this time, a precipitate should precipitate.

Carefully remove the clean ruby \u200b\u200bliquor from the sediment (like wine) and pour it into glass bottles. Taste stabilization time - from three months.

Without vodka, on self-fermentation

You will need:

fresh cherry - 2 kg;
sugar - 0.8 - 1 kg;
water - 02 l.

Note. Water is an optional ingredient. Without water, cherries will perfectly produce juice, and the filling will be thicker.

The only negative - it will be less. But - more aromatic and stronger. So the decision is yours. If you have plenty of berries, it is better to do without water.

Pierce the washed cherries with a toothpick (each berry) or take out the seeds. The bones give an almond flavor, but if you do not like it or you are afraid of hydrocyanic acid present in the bones, it is better to remove them.
