That's interesting, my cherries don't melt, I leave them in the alcohol for up to a year. Your Luxadro liqueur is the base of my recipe. It is as follows:

  • 1.25 cups Luxardo
  • .75 cups vodka
  • .5 cups lemon juice (or was it .25?)
  • 1 cup demerara sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Combine over low heat. Pour over approximately 2 lbs. pitted sour cherries in mason jars. Leave on the counter until the jar lids pop in, then store in fridge.

These last a year or so and are still good. I make them with fresh cherries every July--I am doing my yearly batch this weekend, actually. They're very different from the Luxardo cherries, they're softer and more tart. Delicious in a Manhattan!

What do you think? And thanks very much for your liqueur!

You can make a lime liqueur at home which is similar to limoncello. I have made similar drinks with oranges and grapefruits as well--they all came out great. The best was with blood oranges.

Try this one. It's great.

Kumquats would be pretty interesting! Or maybe something like Buddha's Hand?

But yeah, the arancello and pompelmocello I have made all were delicious.

Why did you post this in The Donald before posting it here?

Do you have any proof that you are who you say you are?

Clearly the situation in Venezuela is very bad right now, all the more reason to be serious about this subject.
