#ScribesAndMakers 2025.07.22 — Show us something you've created. Tell us the story behind it.
There's not much of a story, here. Both my spouse and I have families where preserving fruit in alcohol was a thing (Ukrainian & Italian extraction). In both traditions, what got used was with a neutral spirit, aka vodka. My grandmother used to make her vodka, and reportedly blew up the kitchen sink in a Chicago apartment a long time ago.
These cherries are preserved in bourbon, and newly made so they've about a month to go to be fully enjoyed. I'm creative when it comes to food and food preparation, so a few years ago after making vodka cherries and having left over cherries after running out of the Tito's, I tried a bunch of things like Triple Sec and Old Granddad. The batch I made with Uncle Nearest generated a fandom.
Sadly, I used my reserved Uncle Nearest for this batch. The new bottles just bought, obviously made by a distiller who bought out the original entrepreneurs, cheapened it. It was obvious: dark brown verse light reddish brown, even discounting the address change. Sad.
I think they'll make good cherries next year, though, if not for drinking neat.

#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!
I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.
I've been with my partner @apzpins for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.
I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.
I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.
I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch
I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.
I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.
