When I was looking up pina coladas, I came across another blended drink recipe. The New York Times called it Cherry Crush. We were having drinks, and I figured I might as well make it since I had the stuff for it. I only made one, though, because I wasn’t really sure whether or not we’d like it. I used maraschino cherries in it, which may or may not be what it had in mind.

It was definitely bourbon-y. I didn’t like it very much. Alex said it tasted like cherry bourbon, and that he would have rather just had bourbon. Sorry, Alex. Thank you for being a guinea pig!

Bourbon Cherry Crush, which was actually brighter in real life

Want a different bourbon drink? I recommend this Bourbon Cranberry Cocktail, or Milk Punch if you want a slushy drink.
