Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherries

    Wash and pit the fresh cherries. Once pitted, place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine the Liquors

    In a separate bowl, mix the vodka and reposado tequila. Pour this mixture over the cherries in the mixing bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  3. 3

    Flavor the Mixture

    Add the vanilla extract and cocoa powder to the cherry and liquor mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients well.

Infusion

  1. 4

    Infuse the Cherries

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture infuse in the refrigerator for 48 hours. This allows the cherries to absorb the flavors of the liquors and cocoa.

Clarification

  1. 5

    Clarify the Mixture

    After 48 hours, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer to separate the solid cherries from the liquid. Discard the cherries or save them for another use.

  2. 6

    Incorporate Yogurt

    In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and whey protein powder. Gradually whisk in the strained liquid until smooth and well combined.

  3. 7

    Carbonate the Mixture

    Pour the yogurt and liquid mixture into a soda siphon or a carbonator. Charge it with CO2 according to the manufacturer's instructions to carbonate the mixture.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Cherry Bounce

    Pour the carbonated cherry bounce into glasses and top with additional carbonated water if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best fizz!
