Cherry Bounce is a traditional American alcoholic beverage made from cherries, sugar, and bourbon. It is typically served chilled and is known for its rich and fruity flavor. In this article, we will explore the history, ingredients, and preparation of Cherry Bounce.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Cherry Bounce can be traced back to the early days of the United States. It was a popular drink among the early settlers and was often made during the cherry harvest season. The drink gained popularity due to its ability to preserve cherries for an extended period of time.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients used in making Cherry Bounce are cherries, sugar, and bourbon. The cherries are typically pitted and crushed to release their juices. Sugar is then added to sweeten the mixture and enhance the flavor. Finally, bourbon is added to the mixture, which acts as a preservative and gives the drink its distinct alcoholic kick.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To make Cherry Bounce, start by pitting and crushing the cherries to release their juices. Place the crushed cherries in a large glass jar or container. Add sugar to the cherries and mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Next, pour bourbon into the mixture, ensuring that the cherries are fully submerged. Seal the container tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least a month, allowing the flavors to meld together.

After the aging process, strain the mixture to remove any solids, such as cherry pits or pulp. The resulting liquid is the Cherry Bounce, which can be served chilled in a glass or used as a base for cocktails.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the traditional recipe for Cherry Bounce involves cherries, sugar, and bourbon, there are variations that incorporate different ingredients. Some recipes call for the addition of spices like cinnamon or cloves to enhance the flavor profile. Others may use different types of alcohol, such as rum or brandy, instead of bourbon.
