Bourbon Cherry Bomb

Made, written & photographed by the creators of the Point

We bought a bottle of bourbon for a different recipe - coming soon! - and decided to try it in an actual cocktail. You would think this is a sweet drink, but it actually balances out for a great combination.

Luckily, we have a whole bottle of bourbon to use for a whole lotta Bourbon Cherry Bombs!
