Product details
Crafted from the finest montmorency tart cherries grown in the northern reaches of Michigan. These cherries are prized the world over for their unique balance of sweet and tart, a quality not found in any other varietal. Made with real fruit and no artificial flavors, this is an intensely flavored liqueur with pronounced acidity. The fruit will oxidize over time, so keeping your opened bottle in the fridge will preserve the original flavor for longer.
We love this as a substitute for Cherry Heering, with a much brighter natural cherry flavor, and considerably less sweet. Mix into a gin rickey (it's fantastic paired with fresh lime juice), Singapore Sling, or swap out a portion of the sweet vermouth in a cocktail for a cherry infused Manhattan or Negroni riff.
- Super tasty and tart. Not as sweet as cherry Herring, which is a good thing.
- Delicious and earthy, not sweet
- Terrific for easing up on the sweetness in anything calling for maraschino

Growing up many decades ago, we had a sour cherry tree in our front yard. Every year the cherries would ripen all at once and we'd fill a huge (multi gallon) glass jug with the sour cherries, add sugar and put them in a dark closet in the basement with a loose cover over the top. They would ferment, and my dad would fill many bottles of our homemade cherry liquor. 30 years later when my dad sold the house he found a bottle that had not been consumed. Aged 40 years it was sublime. Ever since then I've been looking for something similar. This is the closest I've found, not as sublime as the 40 year old stuff, but comparable to the the new bottles way back when. I love it. Use it like port. In fact, my spouse likes to mix it with port.
This is terrific for easing up on the sweetness in anything calling for maraschino and also a perfect sub for heering.
