What do you do with your leftover maraschino cherry juice?According to this incredible cooking video, "Most people just drink it down," but there's a much more calorie-rich way to enjoy whatever you have floating around in that jar after when you're out of Manhattan fixings.
Deep-fried maraschino cherry juice. Oh, Arkansas. You're Ark-insane!
Watch in delight (?) as your unseen narrator gleefully shows you how to batter a liquid that probably isn't meant to be consumed in the first place. And yet ...
Thank you, American South! Please enjoy this charming, slightly frightening how-to.

Shirley Temples are just sprite and cherry juice or grenadine! They are great with marachino cherry juice!

1 1/2 oz light rum
1/2 oz dark rum
1/2 oz lime juice
1/4 oz triple sec
1/4 oz maraschino liqueur
Iced ginger ale
1 slice of lime
1 sprig of mint
Shake rums, lime juice, triple sec, and maraschino liqueur well with ice. Strain into tall 12-oz glass half filled with ice cubes. Add ginger ale to almost fill glass. Stir lightly. Garnish with lime slice and mint.
This mixture is called "Caribbean Mule'

I can't see the video because I'm not at home, but based on the comments (hot dog bun dipped in cherry juice, then deep fried?) this reminds me of the episode of The Simpson's where Marge makes her dessert dogs. I know it's just a cartoon, but I have been salivating over those things ever since I saw that episode!! Lol

...I never thought of actually using the juice for something. Weird, normally I'm the sort of person who does. I don't think I'll deep-fry it, but mixing it with soda sounds good. Horrible for me, but good.
Then again, I baked two cakes in the last five days, so what the heck do I care? (Okay, so I gave most of the cake to friends and family. Still. )

I think he was Larry the cable guy, and he so dam cute.Love that he found another use for a eye drops bottle, hot dog buns, and oh don't forget Mar A Steino Cherry Juice.. I skip using the eye drops bottle. But heck the rest sounds Prrrrety good.His good ole boy accent was too cute for words. I used the Cherry Juice for Ice creams, in Cakes,Cup Cakes, and Drinks. So I'll give this a try.
No matter what, he brings a laugh even if you don't want to try this with MAR A Steino Cherry Juice.. I think Jay Leno should have him cook this up on his TV Shows.

While watching this, Lisa, did it occur to you to stop the video? Oh, right, you couldn't complain if you didn't watch the whole thing!

I am an educated, normal person from Arkansas. I live about 30 miles from Little Rock. Now, I am well aware that there are people like the man in the video in our state, however, most people are not like that AT ALL! This guy is from somewhere out in BFE, or something! How humiliating!!

Anne, you are the idiot for thinking that putting down someone else makes you look better. Rapidio was using a colloquialism when he ended his comment with "just saying". Are you a very miserable person or do you enjoy being nasty?

Well, Liz, the reason I didn't stop the video is because it had me in stitches. I did not complain at all I just let out my opinion. I am a well educated business owner and I have a sense of humor. Obviously, you couldn't see that. I mean really, who in their right mind would actually mean, "maybe he should batter and fry his beard"? Try to take life a little less serious. I won't actually try this recipe or consider using the utensils he did but creativity is a wonderful thing. Without it we would not have inventions... so Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to!
