How to Make Cherry Bounce A Cordial

  1. Gently clean 1 pound fresh, ripe cherries. Avoid crushing them.
  2. Place the cherries in a sterilized 1-quart glass jar.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Pour in 1 bottle (750ml) of good quality bourbon, ensuring the cherries and sugar are mostly submerged.
  5. Securely seal the jar's lid. Gently swirl the jar to mix the ingredients.
  6. For the first two weeks, place the jar in a sunny windowsill to accelerate the infusion process.
  7. After two weeks, move the jar to a cool, dark place for at least two months to allow the flavors to fully meld. The longer it sits, the better the flavor will become!
  8. Once the two months are up, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean bottle, discarding the solids.
  9. Enjoy your homemade Cherry Bounce! Serve chilled.
