Cherry Brandy is another classic infused brandy. It is great to mix in brandy drinks, and is wonderful on its own. This brandy drink is best made with fresh cherries, dark and sweet. To add a bit of flavor, cherry pits, the kernels of apricots or bitter almonds are added. This infused Cherry Brandy simply gets better with age. Mix a batch with sweet cherries in the summer, and it will have set perfectly as soon as the days get shorter, the nights longer, and the weather colder.
