Gin, Cherry.—Stalk 1lb. of cherries, and scald (but do not boil) them in a quart of syrup, then lay them in wide-mouthed bottles, and pour on to them a quart of good unsweetened gin, and two quarts of syrup, including that in which they were scalded, and a bottle of essence of cherries; cork down closely. It is ready for use almost at once; but improves by keeping. Filter as wanted.
