Main ingredients

2 ounces 2 ounces bourbon Opt for a quality bourbon that you enjoy sipping straight like Buffalo Trace or Woodford Reserve.
1/4 cup 1/4 cup frozen cherries Look for organic cherries for the best flavor.
4 pieces 4 frozen orange wedges Use half an orange and freeze the wedges yourself after removing the peels.
3 dashes 3 dashes bitters Angostura bitters work well, but you can experiment with different flavors.
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon simple syrup You can easily make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat.
1 1/2 cups 1 1/2 cups ice Finer ice will blend better for a smoother texture.
1 slice Orange slice for garnish Fresh garnishes add that Instagram-ready flair!

Method

Preparation

In a blender, add the bourbon, frozen cherries, frozen orange wedges, bitters, simple syrup, and ice.
Pulse the mixture on high for around 30-45 seconds. If it appears too thick, add a splash of water to help it blend smoothly.
Once blended to a slushy perfection, pour the mixture into a lowball glass.
Garnish with an orange slice and a couple of cherries.
Taste before pouring! Adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if desired.

Notes

You can customize with seasonal fruits or add fresh herbs for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
