The Cherry Bounce cordial is a delightful blend of tradition and flavor. This beloved holiday drink has a fascinating history, dating back to the time of none other than George Washington himself.
Legend has it that the founding father cherished this concoction, made by steeping cherries in spirits, creating a vibrant and tangy base for a delicious, fruity cocktail. As the story goes, Washington enjoyed the drink so much he took a portion with him on a westward trip in the late 18th century.
With its rich history and enduring appeal, the Cherry Bounce cordial has become a staple in holiday gatherings and celebrations. Its vibrant red color and tangy flavor add a burst of festive cheer to any occasion.
The recipe has evolved over the years, with variations incorporating different spirits and additional ingredients like spices or citrus zest. However, one thing remains constant: the essence of cherries steeped in alcohol, imparting a distinct and irresistible taste.
There’s a bit of time and artistry involved in crafting your own homemade Cherry Bounce Cordial. Some people get a head start on infusing fresh cherries when they’re in season, giving the brandy months to steep before drinking or gifting this delicious libation. Fear not, however: frozen cherries are an acceptable substitute for a faster turnaround and that is what we will be using here.
