Ingredients
Bing or black cherries
Bourbon (Farley recommends Maker’s Mark)
Chocolate bitters (Farley recommends Scrappy’s)
Method
Add cherries to a quart-sized mason jar, filling it up to about an inch below the rim. Fill the jar three-quarters of the way with bourbon and one-quarter with chocolate bitters. Place the jar in a water bath and heat it to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the jar with a lid and let it cool before moving the jar to a refrigerator, where it should sit for a month to marinade.
