This is an adult beverage from Savannah GA. From the Chatham Artillery May 1, 1786
2 qts marachino cherries
1 1/2 gallons of catawaba wine
1 1/2 gallons of strong tea
2 1/2 pounds brown sugar
1 1/2 qts orange juice
1 1/2 qts lemon juice
1/2 gallon rum
1 qt gin
1 qt brandy
1/2 pint benedictine
1 1/2 qts rye whiskey
Mix all together and let stand 48 hours before serving.
Guess you could reduce this down to a smaller batch.....MAN this would be worse of an @$$ kicker than a Hurrycane :o
Talk about a marinade for cherries!!! Soak them for about a week and put them in your Manhattan, Old Fashion, Whiskey Sour, Tom Collins or a Girl Scout. If you see your bartender standing around eating them....order your drinks before he's on the floor!!!

(Remember ladies..............as I always say...Take a bartender home with you....you never know when you're going to wake up thirsty and want something to drink!)
Good Grief !!! you would have to mix that up in a 55 gallon drum, but it still would be good...lol
Just thought of something.....that would make one crazy Drunken Cherry pie...............Ala mode!!!

Not sure anybody would remember the party! :)
With them quantities I am thinking we would need a whole truckload of Wheelbarrows!!
