Description
These delightful concoctions combine the sweetness of cherry-infused cocktails with a playful twist that makes them perfect for parties, holidays, or just a cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
1 cup vodka (or cherry vodka for extra flavor)
1/2 cup cherry liqueur (like Cherry Heering or Luxardo)
Chocolate for dipping (dark or milk, based on preference)
Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Rinse and pit the fresh cherries thoroughly to remove any bits of the pit.
Place the pitted cherries in a mason jar and pour the vodka over them until the cherries are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
After the infusion period, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve to remove the cherries.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the strained cherry-infused vodka and cherry liqueur. Shake gently to mix.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip any leftover pitted cherries halfway in the melted chocolate.
Pour the cherry cocktail mixture into shot glasses or small dessert cups.
Enjoy your Boozy Cherry Bombs immediately, or store them in the refrigerator until serving.
