Cherry Bounce Recipe
This Cherry Bounce Recipe is a sweet, flavored homemade liqueur made by soaking pitted cherries with sugar and whiskey for at least three months. After it has aged, the mixture is strained to remove the cherries. It leaves behind a flavorful cherry-infused cordial that can be enjoyed over ice or used in cocktails.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (308 g) sweet or tart cherries, pitted
- ⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- 2-3 cups good quality whiskey
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 a minimum of 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.
