Happy National Liqueur Day! Maybe you’re thinking, “I’m a bourbon drinker! Liqueur is not my style.” I’d ask you to give this cocktail a try. There is, after all, chocolate involved. And I promise it’s not too sweet. I used Old Weller Antique for the bourbon and I made my own [Chocolate Liqueur](https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/01/diy-chocolate-liqueur-how-to-make-creme-de-cacao-recipe.html?ref=bourbonbanter.com) which was very easy to make. If you don’t feel like making your own or are looking for instant gratification you could substitute your favorite brand of chocolate liqueur.

## **Cherry Chocolate Bourbon Cocktail**

- 2 oz. Old Weller Antique
- 1/2 oz Chocolate liqueur
- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Stir together in a mixing glass with ice and then strain into a rocks glass over cracked ice. Garnish with 2 brandied cherries.

I made my own brandied cherries by soaking dried cherries in (yep you guessed it) brandy for a couple of days. These little guys are not very attractive but they are delicious! You might also try the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries instead. If you would prefer a sweeter cocktail, you could use more chocolate liqueur. I really enjoy just the hint of chocolate in mine.

If you give it a try, I’d love to know what you think!
