    George Washington called this Cherry Bounce. I’ve been making this for many years and found mixing the cherries halved to draw out more flavor, sugar and vanilla vodka put in a dark location shaking carefully for 2weeks then let it sit 4-6 months it is perfectly full of flavor and a dark rich color. Yes the leftover cherries are delicious!

      Yes the cherries are delicious but don't eat toooo many ... You don't want to get drunk 😀 and in the title of the video it says "visinata" but what he made was "ciresata" meaning he was using cherries... "visinata" is made from sour cherries and yes as you explained the process is much longer and is done usually in 50 litter demijohn bottle in basket and it's kept in a dark room but hey it's a shorter version... It works😏👌🙂 BTW it can be done with a lot of other fruits like berries, apricots, and another good one is Cornelian Cherry they are sweet and sour like sour cherries

    I found the simplicity of this recipe irresistible. But here is the thing, my wife doesn't like anything cherry unless it's the fruit itself. So I used plums instead and followed all the steps using 96% alcohol. As the plums I used are much bigger in size than cherries I cut them into chunks for better coverage with sugar. As expected, a lot of pulp residue had to be filtered out because of this. After first filtration I got 600ml of cloudy liquid, which calculates at 40% alcohol (250ml 96% + 350ml 0%). Amazingly my plums expressed exact amount of juice to give me the strength I was looking for. After second filtration through cheese cloth I got 500ml of beautiful purple, clear and delicious plum liquor. I think it will make a fantastic digestive, thank you for this. P.S. Didn't use vanilla, the plums had a very strong aroma.

    oh maaaan this is my favourite liqueur! But we do it slightly differently, we add some spices inside the jar (a few cloves, cracked nutmeg, cardamom, some people even add some mastica) We make it in a big jar (6-8 liters) leave it for at least 6 months, the longer the better! It's made in summer and it's ready by the christmas

    Just made it now. Came out very sweet and much darker, flavorful, the cherries a bit bitter, extraordinary!
    One thing to note, it took mine almost 5 days for sugar to be completely diluted and extract enough water from the cherries. Long enough that they started fermenting a bit.

  • @gicab1296
    @gicab1296 2 роки тому +5

    Wait for the sour cherries to ripe and try it with it. Also keep the syrup and alcohol together for a longer period. Some would say the best visinata is when you keep it until the next season of sour cherries, but no more than that, because of the arsenic contained in the hard center of the berries. Otherwise, spectacular drink!

    i just saw your recepie you need to add cherry and sugar 1to1 ratio .. the waiting is going to be around 10 days mixing 2 times a day , then we add our homede palinca or tuica but since you are not in romania you can use vodka put some vanilla extract and some rum extract also and its done , pro tip keep the cherry in the alchool the longer they stay the better , usually i pick up the sour cherry early late june then pour the alchool over them after aroun 10-15 days when the sugar i 90% disolved then can drink it for christmas !! your video is amaizing thanks for sharing my culture !

    Hello
    We are used to make this liqueur in Syria, but with little different details. The alcohol we use is called Arak, which is well know in countries of the Mediterranean coasts. The sugar can be replaced by honey, and cinnamon or ginger can be used instead of Vanilla. We mix all of them, and put them in a dark place for months. Usually to be opened near the Christmas days.

    yup - 100% right. ABV = alcohol by volume and is the same as the % measure. So 45 % is the same as 45 ABV or 45% ABV - meaning 45% of the liquid is alcohol. Distilled some 88% alcohol this weekend, now I just need cherries!

    My dad once made something like this using sour cherries in one batch and blueberries in another. The fruit afterwards goes well with vanilla ice cream. He used moonshine though which I assume is the same flavor profile.
    With a jar that big it seems a waste to not double or triple the recipe.
    Quick question though, would it intensify the flavor if you pitted and halved the cherries?

    I don't want to disappoint you, but what you made there is actually Liqueur de Cireșe, Cherry Liqueur, as you so well have used in the title. BUT, The Vișinată is something totally diffrent, made on Sour Cherrys. And depending on the procedure of making it, and the sort of Sour Cherry you use, it also has a very different taste, consistency, and color. The one I like the most is the one where the Sour Cherrys are blanded with sugar and are fermented. I will try to find my recipe from my grandmother. It's a long time ago I made this drink and I'm not the most organized man on the Earth :( What I can tell you now is that this recipe takes a few weeks and you have to take good care of the "babies" thru the process.
