Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference based on the tartness of the cherries. The longer the cherry bounce ages, the more intense the cherry flavor will become. Serve chilled over ice, mixed with sparkling water or ginger ale, or as a delightful addition to cocktails. The leftover cherries can be used in desserts, such as ice cream toppings or baked goods.
