The Magic of Boozy Cherries: A Farm-to-Table Cocktail Revolution
Imagine the soft pop of a dark, lusciously-syrupy cherry at the bottom of your Old Fashioned—only this isn’t just any cocktail garnish. This is Boozy Cherries, the small-batch, bourbon-soaked delicacy from In the Curious Kitchen that’s fast becoming a craft cocktail essential. These cherries aren’t just an accessory; they’re a story—a heritage steeped in family, Kentucky warmth, and a deep love for food and conviviality.
From Kentucky Soil to Bourbon-Laced Bliss
In the Curious Kitchen was born from the heart of bourbon country, where founder MK Hennigan grew up drinking in not just whiskey, but in stories. Summers spent with her grandmother in North Carolina taught her that food is more than sustenance—it’s connection, history, and hospitality.
The recipe for Boozy Cherries is rooted in MK’s family tradition. Her grandmother passed down a secret: how to transform humble dark Italian (Amarena) cherries into something soulful and indulgent. In MK’s hands, that recipe evolved. She sources dark Italian cherries of the highest quality, then soaks them gently in a syrup made from Kentucky bourbon and organic cane sugar. The result? An intoxicating marriage of tart cherry flavor and warm, southern spirit that brings sophistication and comfort in every bite.
Craft, Care & Southern Hospitality
Every jar is handcrafted in small batches in Kentucky, paying homage to MK’s southern roots and her grandmother’s kitchen. The cherries are hand-packed with care, shelf-stable (yet brimming with life), and made without artificial preservatives. The boozy infusion clocks in below 0.48% ABV, giving you that spirit-kissed flavor without overpowering your drink.
These cherries are versatile: a gorgeous garnish for a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, a sweet surprise drizzled over vanilla bean ice cream, or even a thoughtful hostess gift in a curated cocktail-kit.
