Patience lasted less than 2 weeks. We strained the blood orange bourbon. It has a rich orange hue. The blood orange and its syrup fully flavored the bourbon with citrus and bitter notes. We added frozen cherries to the bourbon. The frozen cherries have several benefits. They are pitted. They are frozen. The freezing process has already partially broken down the fruit. Ice crystals have cut microscopic holes in the cherries flesh. Thawing the frozen cherries in the bourbon will allow the juices to flow out of the cut fruit and into the bourbon. It will flavor the bourbon. Some of it will then be pulled back into the cherries. The bourbon is now back in the forgotten cabinet. Until we remember it again.
