Directions

1. 1

   Whisk the apple juice and Vanilla Bean Sugar together in a small saucepan.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

3. 3

   Pull from the heat, stir in the cherry extract, and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Strain into a sealable jar and add the moonshine and cherries.

5. 5

   Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving — the flavor gets richer as it ages.
