Woodford Reserve Bourbon Cherries, 13.5 oz Jar — Pitted Long-Stem Cherries in Bourbon-Infused Syrup

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Cherries are pitted, stemmed cocktail cherries preserved in a bourbon-infused syrup for muddling, garnishing, and finishing cocktails.

Handpicked in Oregon and crafted using all-natural ingredients, these deep ruby cherries are tailored for bartenders, home mixologists, and anyone who wants a premium garnish.

What makes these cherries different from regular cocktail cherries?

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Cherries are selected and preserved to deliver a richer profile than standard maraschinos. They’re produced with bourbon-influenced syrup and natural ingredients, offering a deeper color, firmer flesh, and a clean, balanced sweetness that complements whiskey-based drinks.

• Handpicked Oregon fruit for consistent quality
• Pitted yet long-stemmed for easy garnish placement
• Bourbon-forward preservation for added depth
• No artificial colors or flavors listed among ingredients

How should I use Woodford Reserve Bourbon Cherries in cocktails?

These cherries are versatile: use them as a centerpiece garnish, muddle them to release syrup and fruit oils, or add one to a stirred cocktail for aroma and visual appeal. Their texture holds up in stirred and shaken drinks without turning mushy quickly.

• Garnish a Manhattan or Old Fashioned with one long-stem cherry
• Muddle a cherry for added syrup and fruity notes in sours
• Add to dessert-style cocktails or boozy milkshakes for richness
• Use syrup from the jar to sweeten or flavor cocktails

How should I store and serve these cherries for best results?

Keep unopened jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use within a reasonable timeframe to preserve texture and flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on drink style—cold for refreshing cocktails, slightly warmer to release aroma.

• Store unopened at pantry temperature; refrigerate after opening
• Use a clean utensil to remove cherries and prevent contamination
• Chill syrup and cherries for cold cocktails; room-temperature for aroma-forward serves
• Reserve jar syrup for sweetening or rinsing a glass
