A fun way to make your own cherry-infused liquor dessert drink. Tart cherries are the real star of this recipe. This is usually made in August and traditionally served with Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Warning: The cherries are very strong after a few months, so eat responsibly. Serve over ice with Sierra Mist or Sprite to cut the liquor strength. Liquor-soaked cherries are also very good over vanilla ice cream for a fun adult dessert.
