This is your Saturday Evening Summer Cocktail!
Our infused Cherry Vodka was a lot lighter and more refreshing to taste than we originally imagined, which made it the perfect infusion for this cherry & orange cocktail! It also helps that it is such a beautiful color! The Cherry infusion was also one of the easiest, we just pitted 4 cups of cherries (approximately 48) using a straw, and then filled our jar to the top and covered with vodka, sealed it and placed it in a cool dark room for a week. Couldn’t be easier!
… However we did learn something, save the infused cherries for garnish but don’t try and eat them, the strength alone will mean you no longer want or need a drink!
