Use it in the following drink. This is very loosely(!) modeled on the Singapore Sling, but much less involved to make. This is not a particularly light cocktail, think before you drink.

1 1⁄2 oz gin
1/2 ounce brandied cherry syrup
1⁄2 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
club soda/sparkling water

Combine the first three in a cocktail shaker (or mason jar with lid) and shake enthusiastically with ice to really chill out the booze. Pour in to a chilled glass and top with 3-4 ounces of club soda. give it a gentle swirl to blend. If it's sweeter than you'd like, add more soda. Hide the car keys and pour toward your liver.

Simple recipe but the quantity of liquor produced by the sugar syrup and brandy mixture is way too much for the quantity of cherries. So I now have at least a pint of boozy sweet liquor. Amy suggestions about what to do with it?

Fabulous. Made this recipe last January, teachers got 6 with syrup in little containers for Christmas. The rest didn’t last long, ice cream, chocolate cake and homemade sangria. Wasn’t enough, made double batch this year.

Simple and great recipe! Any suggestions on what to do with the leftover 'juice'? It's too yummy to waste.

Are they safe to eat? I thought the alcohol and syrup would have preserved them, but not I'm not sure.

That’s why you have to let the syrup(water, sugar and vanilla) cool to room temperature before adding the alcohol.

Have you ever tried adding cocoa nibs? Just curious. I was wondering if these coukd be done with honey rather than sugar. I appreciate your time, thanks again.

Hi Kristi,

They don't really go bad - the alcohol acts like a great preservative.
