Get a good brandy or good quality vodka. Put in with your ingredient(s) into a Mason jar (the easier to get those ingredients out later). Shake every day for three weeks. Strain the alcohol, and add simple syrup to taste. Let settle for about a week.

I've made cherry, chocolate cherry, peach (which turned out tasting more like caramel?) and ginger.

You can do it faster with extracts and syrups; if you want nut flavors, I definitely recommend extracts. The chocolate cherry was made with maraschino syrup (right off a store brand jar of maraschino cherries) and chocolate extract.

I made a raspberry one but I never got it to taste better than medicine.
