How to Make Drunken Cherries Aka Cherry Bomb

  1. Gently wash 1 pound of fresh or frozen pitted cherries.
  2. Place the cherries in a clean, airtight jar.
  3. Pour 1 cup of dark rum over the cherries, ensuring they're fully submerged.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cherries to infuse with the rum.
  5. Serve the drunken cherries as a cocktail garnish, add them to a pina colada, enjoy them straight from the jar, or use them to top your favorite desserts (like chocolate cake).
  6. The remaining rum infusion can be used in cocktails, or added to warm cranberry apple spiced tea (recipe #48626) for an extra layer of flavor.
