Cherry Heering
Cherry Heering is a Danish liqueur made from cherries. It is often used in the creation of classic and contemporary cocktails. The liqueur is named after its creator, Peter F. Heering, who first produced it in 1818.
History[edit | edit source]
Cherry Heering was first produced in 1818 by Peter F. Heering, a Danish merchant and distiller. The liqueur quickly gained popularity and became a staple in many bars and restaurants around the world. It is known for its deep red color and rich, sweet flavor, which comes from the use of Stevnsbær cherries.
Production[edit | edit source]
The production of Cherry Heering involves the use of Stevnsbær cherries, which are known for their tart flavor. The cherries are crushed and mixed with spices and neutral grain spirit. The mixture is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.
Cocktails[edit | edit source]
Cherry Heering is a key ingredient in several classic cocktails, including the Singapore Sling and the Blood and Sand. It is also used in a variety of modern cocktails, adding a rich cherry flavor and deep red color.
Singapore Sling[edit | edit source]
The Singapore Sling is a classic cocktail that was created in the early 20th century at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. It typically includes Cherry Heering, gin, Benedictine, Cointreau, lime juice, pineapple juice, and a dash of Angostura bitters.
