If you’re feeling a bit more professional, use a chopstick. A sturdy bamboo chopstick is your best friend here. Place a cherry on the mouth of a glass bottle (a beer bottle works perfectly), stem side up, and shove the chopstick straight through the cherry.
The pit will shoot right into the bottle, leaving you with a perfect, intact fruit. Plus, you get to feel like a ninja every time you hear that satisfying plink sound. Instant gratification, anyone?
