Cherry Heering
Cherry Heering is a Danish cherry liqueur made from sour Stevns cherries, offering a deep, wine-like cherry flavour with notes of almond and spice rather than simple sweetness. It has more body and complexity than typical fruit liqueurs. It is a defining ingredient in a small number of classic cherry-forward cocktails.
