Product details
Soplica Cherry Vodka Liqueur is a Polish cherry vodka liqueur made with fully ripe cherries from Polish orchards on a rye and wheat grain spirit, bottled by Soplica at 26% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Known at home as Wiśniowa, it is matured for a long time in the old Polish way, which brings out a distinctive cherry-stone note alongside the juicy fruit. Shoppers often call it cherry vodka, but its sweetness and 26% ABV place it among the liqueurs, a little lighter than the 28% Soplica fruit flavours. It is an easy first bottle for anyone new to Polish fruit liqueurs.
Soplica Cherry tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe dark cherries, fresh cherry juice and a marzipan-like note from the stone.
- Palate: Sweet and velvety, with juicy cherry fruit and a soft, rounded body.
- Finish: Gentle and fruity, closing on a light almond bitterness from the cherry stone.
The colour is a deep cherry red, and just enough sourness balances the sweetness to keep each sip fresh.
How to drink Soplica Cherry
Pour it chilled into a small glass, or over ice in a tumbler if you prefer it slightly diluted. A good cherry liqueur loves dark chocolate, vanilla cheesecake and naleśniki filled with sweet curd cheese. It is a relaxed choice for a dessert course, a slow evening with friends or a cosy night in with a film, served in modest measures.
Soplica Cherry cocktails
Soplica Cherry and cola is the quickest long drink, but the cherry also works with sparkling wine and in a classic sour.
- Cherry Cola: 40 ml Soplica Cherry over ice in a highball, topped with 120 ml cola and a squeeze of lime.
- Cherry Fizz: 30 ml Soplica Cherry in a flute, topped with 100 ml chilled prosecco.
- Wiśniowa Sour: 50 ml Soplica Cherry, 25 ml fresh lemon juice and a dash of aromatic bitters, shaken with ice and strained over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
How it compares
Soplica Cherry Old Polish Original (Staropolska Wiśniówka) is the fuller 38% alternative in a 70cl bottle, spiced with walnut, plum and clove. Soplica Cherry in Chocolate at 25% adds cocoa for a richer, dessert-style drink. This 26% bottle is the pure-fruit option of the three, brighter and juicier, with the cherry stone as its signature note.
