Cherry Bounce
Cherry Bounce is a sweet, flavored homemade liqueur made by macerating pitted cherries with sugar and whiskey for three months or more (The Longer, the better). This process creates a flavorful cherry-infused cordial that can be enjoyed over ice or cocktails!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherries Pitted, sweet, or tart
- 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2-3 cups Bourbon Good Quality
Instructions
- In a quart jar, combine pitted cherries and granulated sugar.
- Top with whiskey, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
- Cover the jar tightly with a lid and shake well.
- Place the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 3 months, allowing it to mature for up to 1 year.
- Shake the jar occasionally during this period to help dissolve the sugar and enhance flavor development.
- To serve, strain cherries out. Then, pour over ice or in your favorite cocktail
Notes
Just a little Southern trifle.
Pour over ice and sip, or add to sparkling water, or use in Manhattens.
Use the cherries as garnish or as a unique topping for ice cream.
