Tempus Fugit Spirits Cocktail Cherries
Details
Cocktail Cherries
At the end of the 19th Century, it became all the rage among bar patrons of finer establishments to request that their cocktails be garnished with expensive preserved cherries. These first “cocktail cherries” were a fancy variety that were candied and preserved in a spiced sugar syrup with the addition of a small amount of cherry distillate (Kirsch) alcohol.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:
Italy
VARIETAL:
Wild Amarena Cherries
METHOD:
Fresh Wild Amarena Cherries are candied in a concentrated sugar syrup to maximum brix and then added to a spiced sugar syrup with Kirsch and allowed to undergo the process of osmosis to allow the candied cherries to fully absorb the Kirsch and spices.
NOSE:
Crisp aroma of sour cherries with hints of vanilla and warm baking spices.
TEXTURE:
The syrup exhibits a smooth silky texture which subtlety amplifies the viscosity and mouthfeel of cocktails. The fruit features a firm crunch and dense chewiness only found in the finest traditionally candied fruits.
TASTE:
Floral, honey-like sweetness, with a pleasant tart finish and a touch of citrus undertones. The Kirsch Brandy lends complex cherry flavors which explode in the midpalate and compliment the added spices in the syrup.
