Sour-Cherry Old-Fashioned image

Sour cherries are too tart to eat raw, but go down amazingly easy when you muddle them with sugar and douse them with whiskey in this spin on a classic old fashioned.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 5m

Yield 1 cocktail.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sour cherries, stemmed and pitted
One 2-inch strip orange peel
1 sugar cube (or ½ teaspoon sugar)
2 or 3 dashes bitters
2 ounces rye or bourbon.

Steps:

  • Put the cherries, orange peel, sugar and bitters in an old-fashioned glass; crush the sugar and cherries with a muddler, spoon or anything else that will get the job done. Fill the glass with ice, add the whiskey and stir until the drink is cold, about a dozen times.

This cocktail is a bit too strong for me. I would recommend using less bourbon or adding more mixer.

This cocktail is a great way to use up leftover sour cherries. I always have a few extra cherries after making pies or jams, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of bourbon, but this cocktail changed my mind. The sour cherries and bitters really mellowed out the flavor of the bourbon.
