Anyone that knows me is aware that I like to have a cocktail in the evening. OK, maybe sometimes more than one.

My favorite cocktail is a bourbon Manhattan. I prefer mine “up” and garnished with a cherry. Most cocktail recipes call for a maraschino cherry as the garnish. It works but a booze-infused cherry is sooo much better.

You can buy bourbon cherries, however, they are a bit on the expensive side costing around $20 for a small jar of them. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make them at a fraction of the cost.

This recipe isn’t original. We found it on WebMD of all places. Go figure. Time to make us some yummy cherries.
