Warm Up This Season with the Cherry Bounce Hot Toddy
Crafted by Coltivare’s Beverage Director Morgan Weber, the Cherry Bounce Hot Toddy is a sweet and spicy warm beverage inspired by combining a traditional hot toddy and cherry bounce, a cherry-infused bourbon liqueur popular in North Carolina where Executive Chef/Co-Owner Ryan Pera grew up.
The cherry bounce liqueur, which is made up of fresh cherries, white sugar, and bourbon, will infuse from now until about December and will then be ready to be used in the cocktail. The cocktail combines the liqueur with lemon juice, hot water, and a house made cinnamon syrup, creating a gorgeous and complex taste profile of sweet, citrusy, and spicy flavors. To top it all off, the cocktail is garnished with cinnamon, rosemary, and a cherry and orange peel skewer.
