I could totally eat Cherries all year long, but they do need variety! What helps us to enjoy something over and over and over and over again? ….good old booze, that’s what! Just ask anyone who’s been married more than 4 20 years..lol! 😉
These Cherries are definitely for grown ups! ‘Go get some Candy & Cookies kids, this is Adult Fruit!’ Just saying that makes me laugh inside..Oh, my poor daughter..lol! 🙂
Ah, what fun these drunken cherries provide! Not just from the poor unsuspecting tipsy friends & family that eat one handful too many, but also from the amazing variety of adult recipes you can get tipsy off of create with them! FYI..Bourbon is a strong and powerful S.O.B..LOL!! I may try a sweet Cherry Liqueur next time..for a slightly more classy, ‘adult fruit’ drunkard experience..haha!
What you’ll need:
2 cups of fresh Cherries (OR in a jar is fine too, if it’s not Cherry season)
1 cup of Bourbon
1 cup of Water
A jar! Simply combine the water and the Bourbon in the jar, add the Cherries and let them soak in the fridge over night. It will create it’s very own ahh-mazing Bourbon Syrup inside of the jar as they soak! Then proceed to use them in some fun & delicious adult ways!
..see below! 😉
For your viewing pleasure, I’ve chronicled a few super tasty and fun Drunken Cherry ideas here to get you drunk inspire you.

Thanks for linking up at http://www.foodiefriendsfriday.com today for Foodie Friends Friday! I’m drooling wishing my plain old beer looked more like something on this page!! I will definately be checking back in to your blog =) Tracy @ Busy Vegetarian Mom
Thank you for stopping by!! SO happy you like what you see! 🙂
These are a MUST try! How long will these keep. What, if anything, should we do to keep them longer, or do they HAVE to be used immediately?
How do u get blue sugar?
It’s decorating sugar in the baking section. 🙂
My latest favorite drink is bourbon, cherry cider, 7-UP and lime. Drunken bourbon cherries will make the perfect garnish! Thanks for the great idea.
Sinful!
Say 5 Bloody Mary’s lol.
OMG!!!!! breathe, breathe OMG!!!!! If I come up missing. Have them to look for me on the floor OD from Cherries…breathe breathe…..
