Holy crap. No. Don’t do that. AT ALL.

You need fresh cherries. You can get them from the grocery store.

Summer is cherry season. That’s why it’s time to make bounce now-bc there are fresh cherries at the grocery store.

Let’s go over this again :-)

The darkest cherries you can find in the grocery store.

4lbs of them.

Pull the stems, get the pits out and stab with a fork.

Buy a $12 sealed jar off amazon

Put 2 5ths of whatever booze and 3/4 cup of sugar into the jar with the pitted cherries.

Must put in a dark place for 3-6months

I would buy the sealed jar so bacterias don’t give you the poops.

Yes, no need for any yeast.

I would buy a wide mouth jar. Just easier.

Ok I suck at links. Just go to amazon and put “1 gallon sealed jar”

My dad used to make this when I was a kid. Our neighbors had a cherry tree with those tiny cherries. He would get some of the sacramental wine from Father Fourcade and add the cherries to it.

He always brought it out during the holiday season.

What he didn't know is that me and my moronic brother would sample it throughout the year. It does get better with age.

i thought it needed a percolator to release pressure on any kind of stuff like that. my neighbor makes wine and he said stuff blows up without a percolator to release pressure

That high of an alcohol content will kill any yeast you add. Should kill any bacteria too.

You don’t need yeast, or a container with a release valve bc you’re not making alcohol. You’re just flavoring already made alcohol. Liqueurs like cherry bounce are just infusions. Limoncello, nocello etc. are similarly easy to make.

If you use everclear, you’ll want to dilute it with simple syrup after steeping the cherries. Straight, it’s rough as hell. It needs sugar and water to smooth off the edges.

that fireball whiskey looks like just canadian whiskey with cinnamon and brown sugar added to it, is that right? or is it more then that?

if so, im thinking i could just add an ounce of powdered ground cinnamon spice to it and some brown sugar to make the bounce with regular whiskey to get the same taste

i ask because i shop at win dixie and they have a selection of no name alcohol they label themselves at like half price compared to the name brands

half gallon vodka is $9 and half gallon burbon whiskey is $12 and the jack daniels fire whiskey is $50 for half gallon

If you want to add cinnamon, put sticks or chunks into the liquor. Not powdered—it will clump and cloud the liquid, as well as not release as much flavor as a stick or two added to the bottle.

I always thought you were supposed to use a special type of cherry for this.

I’ll bet you can sous vide it at 135f for a couple of hours to encourage the infusion. I have made lemoncello in a few hours instead of weeks and it came out wonderfully.
