Why I Love This Recipe
Adult gummies are trending for good reason—they’re playful, unexpected, and surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients
- 1 cup black cherry juice (100% juice preferred)
- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup honey (or agave syrup)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
How to Make Black Cherry Bourbon Gummies
- Warm the Juice: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm black cherry juice until it begins to simmer—don’t boil.
- Whisk in Gelatin: Remove from heat. Slowly whisk in gelatin powder until fully dissolved.
- Add Flavor: Stir in bourbon, honey (or agave), lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Mold & Chill: Pour the mixture into silicone molds. Chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Pop & Store: Gently pop gummies from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips for Success
- Use silicone molds for the easiest removal and prettiest presentation.
- Let the juice cool slightly before adding bourbon to preserve flavor.
- Add a dash of vanilla or cinnamon for an extra flavor note.
