Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz. bourbon plus more to soak cherries, good quality
  • Cherry pitted, good quality
  • ice

Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Meyer lemon zested and juiced
  • water added to make half cup of liquid with lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Drain off half the juice the cherries are in and add bourbon, let sit for at least one week. Longer the better as the bourbon will be more infused into the cherries.
  2. When the cherries are ready make a simple syrup with the sugar, lemon juice, water and zest. Heat in a small saucepan until simmering and sugar has dissolved. Strain, set aside to cool.
  3. To make one cocktail, take two cherries and remove the stems. Smash them into the bottom of a glass. Fill with desired amount of ice. Add 2 oz. bourbon and 1 oz. lemon simple syrup. Stir and serve with an additional infused cherry.
