An amazing Cherry Sour Old Fashioned cocktail recipe made with cherry infused bourbon. So easy to make, and it’s vegan and gluten free.Cherry Sour Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe made with Cherry Infused Bourbon
Pretty much everyone we talked to about recommendations for Missoula recommended Plonk Wine Bar. Even people on social media reached out to make sure we stopped in! Plonk has an amazing cocktail menu, in addition to an impressive wine list. They also have a great rooftop patio that is worth visiting if you are visiting Missoula in the summer or early fall.

By far, my favorite thing that we tried was their Cherry Sour cocktail. Made with cherry infused bourbon with muddled fruit and bitters, the cocktail is similar to an old fashioned.

Cherry Sour Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe made with Cherry Infused BourbonInfused cherry bourbon is so easy to make and makes these cocktails insanely delicious. All you need is a bottle of your favorite bourbon and some canned black cherries. Not the pie filling kind, but good quality black cherries canned in syrup. You can find them at Whole Foods or specialty grocery stores, or if you really want to stock up you can buy a pack of 8 cans on Amazon.

At first I was wondering what I would do with so many cans of cherries, but when I price checked the same ones were $8 at Whole Foods and they were out of stock! I figured paying less than $5 a can on Amazon (or $3 a can if you have Amazon Fresh) and getting them delivered to my door was worth it. This isn’t an Amazon ad, I promise. It’s just the thought process I had when picking out cherries for the bourbon!

Because you can make the infused bourbon in advance, the day of all you need to do is muddle the fruit, mix in the ingredients and serve over ice. So easy!

I just got these new copper bar tools and copper old fashioned glasses from Martha Stewart. Aren’t they amazing?

Of course Martha has impeccable taste, and with my obsession with all things copper, I just couldn’t resist. They were perfect for making and styling this beautiful cocktail.
