Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a clean, 1-quart glass jar, gently combine the pitted cherries and sugar. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pour vodka over the cherries and sugar, ensuring the cherries are fully submerged. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Seal the jar tightly and shake well until the sugar begins to dissolve. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 1 to 4 months, shaking gently every week to redistribute the cherries and sugar. (Variable Time)

05

Step

After the aging process, strain the cherry bounce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cherries. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Optional: For a clearer cordial, strain again through a coffee filter. (15 minutes)

Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference based on the tartness of the cherries.
The longer the cherry bounce ages, the more intense the cherry flavor will become.
Serve chilled over ice, mixed with sparkling water or ginger ale, or as a delightful addition to cocktails.
The leftover cherries can be used in desserts, such as ice cream toppings or baked goods.

    Next time, I'll add a vanilla bean during the aging process for extra flavor.
