Step 1 of 12

Gather your supplies. Here I'm making cherry vodka. You can use any fruit that's in season such as strawberries, peaches, blackberries, etc.

Step 2 of 12

To quickly and easily remove the cherry pit, place a cherry, stem side up, on top of a bottle.

Step 3 of 12

Then poke a chop stick through the cherry and out the pit goes!

Step 4 of 12

Here's my mason jar full of pitted cherries. Top off with liquor...

Step 5 of 12

...and screw on the lid.

Step 6 of 12

Label, then place in a cool dark place (like the fridge) until the favors infuse - anywhere from one to three weeks depending on your taste and the strength of the fruit. Shake the jar every few days.

Step 7 of 12

How about pineapple rum?

Step 8 of 12

I'm using Sailor Jerry's rum. Isn't she cute?!

Step 9 of 12

Fill 'er up!

Step 10 of 12

Tangerine vodka! Be sure to remove the peel, otherwise it will taste bitter.

Step 11 of 12

So pretty.

Step 12 of 12

Finished! I hope you enjoyed this guide!

I've tried doing this with morello cherries and brandy, but I didn't remove the stones, a I added some sugar, which made it quite viscous it made the Brandy taste quiz but like almonds, it was lovely.
