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 It was originally made with brandy, but you can also use bourbon, vodka, dark rum, or (as here) white rum, which lets the fruit's natural color shine through.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.
