CHERRY BOUNCE
Legend has it that the cherry bounce, a drink popular in the southern United States, was one of George Washington's favorite tipples. It was originally made with brandy, but you can also use bourbon, vodka, dark rum, or (as here) white rum, which lets the fruit's natural color shine through. The cherry-infused spirit needs to sit for at least a week and up to one month before being chilled and served ice-cold.

Steps:
- Using the tip of a sharp knife, pierce 2 to 3 holes in each fresh cherry, then place in a large crock or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour in rum and stir to combine, pressing lightly on cherries to release some juices. Cover jar and let stand in a cool, dark place at least 1 week and up to 1 month.
- Strain mixture, discarding solids; pour liquid into a resealable jar or bottle. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 6 months. Serve chilled, over ice, with frozen cherries.

AMAZING BOURBON BALLS WITH CHERRIES
I make these every year for my family. They are always gobbled up very quickly, so I make multiple batches. You can find the glazed cherries next to the fruitcake fruit. You can make them without nuts, too. Just increase the amount of cherries.

Steps:
- Soak walnuts and cherries in bourbon for 4-5 hours. (The longer you soak them, the more they absorb the alcohol.) Drain well.
- Soften butter. Mix butter with confectioners sugar and add to nuts and cherries. (You might need to add more sugar if the mixture is to wet.) Roll into balls (about half the size you wish your final bourbon ball to be). Refridgerate at least 30 minutes until set.
- Melt chocolate and wax in double broiler. Drop balls into chocolate and put on wax paper. Let set until chocolate hardens. (I always put them in the fridge to speed up the process.).

CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOURBON BALLS
This is kind of a cross between a cookie and a candy. My mom used to make these every year during the holidays when I was a kid, although times were different back then, and since this is no-bake, the alcohol doesn't have a chance to cook off. Yeah, don't give these to the kids! Servings are based on two of these per person... Good luck stopping at two!
