Techniques › Brandy Infused Cherries

Brandy Infused Cherries

Shake up the traditional cocktail garnish routine with these little babies. They'll make you pucker and give your cocktails, like Amy's Sour Cherry Manhattan, some zing. A breeze to put together and they'll keep in a tightly closed jar so it'll always be easy to grab a few when you need them.  Wait at least overnight while the cherries infuse before you use them.
