Boozy Bourbon Cherries Drink

This Bourbon Cherry is perfect for gifts or adding cocktails.

The recipe is very simple, and only contains three ingredients (bourbon, sugar, and cherries). I chose to use bourbon at an average price because these will mostly be used as cocktail decorations. This is a fun recipe to make. And I'm happy to give one of my two bottles to our next door neighbor.

Boozy Bourbon Cherries Drink

Ingredients

• 4 cups of fresh sweet cherries (washed, pitted & stems removed)
• 3 1/2 glasses of bourbon
• 2/3 glasses of white sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring bourbon and sugar to low heat over low heat. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then turn off the heat and let stand for at least 15 minutes.
2. Pack your cherries into two 25 ounce jars (or three smaller ones). Curl them into a nice, tight jar without breaking the cherries. Pour the syrup over the cherries in each jar until it completely covers the fruit. If you have leftover syrup, you can use it to make cocktails!
3. Place the lid tightly and store the cherries in the refrigerator. They must be used in one year.
