Cherry gin 🍒🍹

Many years ago my Mum surpised our traditional family Christmas by presenting us with a new drink: Damson Gin. She had soaked damsons in gin with sugar for a few months - and it was soooo good 🎊!! Now I have her hand-written recipe folder with me, and was reminded of that amazing moment. And I decided to give it a try. I mean why buy flavoured gin when we can make our own with the flavours we love?! My favourite fruit is cherry, and here is the cherry gin I made last month in full Spanish cherry season. I couldn't wait until Christmas to try it 🤷♀️ but after tasting it (amazing 💥❣️) I made another litre which is hidden away until then. I guess we could make this drink with whatever our favourite fruit, berry or plum. Here is my cherry version.

Steps
- 1
Wash the cherries and cut them to the stone. Put them in a sterilised jar and add the sugar. Stir.
- 2
Add the gin. Stir well and seal the jar (I made one batch with gin and another with vodka. The vodka is still wip..). Leave in a dark, calm cupboard for at least one month, shaking now and again when you remember. Delicious served with lots of ice, or with fizzy water.
