In the Curious Kitchen Boozy Cherries

Some things are worth the journey.

Ours starts in Italy — dark, rich Amarena cherries, prized for their intense flavor and velvety texture — then arrives in Kentucky, where they're slow-infused with bourbon in small batches until every cherry is deeply, unmistakably Southern.

Drop one into an Old Fashioned or Manhattan and watch it transform the drink. Serve them over vanilla ice cream. Gift them to the person who has everything. These are the cocktail cherries serious bourbon lovers have been looking for — and once you've had them, there's no going back.
