Take a trip back to early colonial America with Cherry Bounce. Aside from having an awesome name, Cherry Bounce is an old 1700s era drink that George Washington enjoyed and was said to take a filled canteen on his travels. The recipe we followed is from Martha Washington's papers and while it isn't totally complete, we tried to interpret it as best we could.
Here is the original Martha Washington recipe:
Martha Washington’s “Excellent Cherry Bounce”
Extract the juice of 20 pounds well ripend Morrella cherrys. Add to this 10 quarts of old french brandy and sweeten it with White sugar to your taste. To 5 gallons of this mixture add one ounce of spice such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmegs of each an Equal quantity slightly bruis’d and a pint and half of cherry kirnels that have been gently broken in a mortar. After the liquor has fermented let it stand close-stoped for a month or six weeks then bottle it, remembering to put a lump of Loaf Sugar into each bottle.
