Cherry bounce
Cherry Bounce is a type of liqueur made by infusing brandy with sour Morello cherries and sugar. Some recipes use rum, whiskey or vodka instead of brandy.
Early English recipes called for the use of brandy, while later recipes introduced substitutions for both the alcohol and sweetener used.
The liqueur, which is popular in parts of the United States, also has a long history there. A recipe for it was found among the papers of Martha Washington. This recipe called for whiskey and is said to have been one of George Washington's favorite drinks. The moonshine producer Amos Owens, known as the "Cherry Bounce King", famously purchased land on Cherry Mountain, North Carolina where he distilled Cherry Bounce in large volumes until around 1900.
