Do you mean brandy made from cherries, or a cherry infused brandy?

cherry infused brandy :)

Hmm, I would imagine 1 litre of brandy in a glass half filled with cherries and 100g sugar. Shake up and leave for 6 months to a year in a cool dark place.

That works well with vodka too

By far the best cherries I have ever used in brewing are:

PEK Pitted dark Morello Cherries in syrup!

Just cherried sugar and water so you can add the syrup to ur brews for extra colour and taste!
They have a very deep and rich taste and you dont have to mess with skins and stones and so cheap,
You can find them near the canned fruit in Morrisons for £1.10 for 460g
(Amazing baked into custard too :whistle: )

I know you're all going to say fresh are best but just an idea for you!

to be honest i was toying with the idea of cocktail cherries... as i have a place i can get them cheap from
