Today, I shall bottle the cherry bounce liqueur I put up last summer. My only problem is that I seem to have only three half-litre beer bottles with wired-on porcelain stoppers — not the sort of thing for which one just pops out to the shops in southwestern Ontario.

Crap. Must figure this out. Mason jars might work, for that hillbilly vibe, but it’s a bit of a challenge to pour a neat shot from a fruit jar into a Bohemian crystal pony glass.
