Ole Smoky Cherries Moonshine

Ole Smoky Moonshine is made in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and its mason jars of fruit soaked in moonshine have become the distillery's signature. The Cherries jar is exactly what it sounds like: maraschino cherries, hand-filled into the jar and left to soak in 100 proof (50% ABV) Ole Smoky moonshine. Over time the two trade places. The cherries absorb the spirit until each one is saturated, and the moonshine takes on the color, sweetness and fruit of the cherries, so the jar gives you two things at once: a cherry-red, cherry-flavored moonshine to pour and a jar of boozy cherries to eat or use as a garnish. The maraschino sweetness balances the heat of the high-proof spirit, and the moonshine pushes the cherry flavor bolder than a standard cocktail cherry. Ole Smoky's own serving ideas are simple: drop a cherry into a cocktail that needs an extra kick, eat them straight from the jar, where each one hits like a small shot, or mix the leftover moonshine-cherry liquid with Coke for a grown-up take on the soda-fountain cherry cola. Keep in mind they're 100 proof, so a few go a long way.
