Product details
Soplica Halloween Cherry and Quince is a Polish cherry and quince vodka liqueur released as a seasonal Halloween edition, bottled at 25% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Labelled Wiśnia•Pigwa, it combines two fruits that Polish families have long steeped in spirit to make home-made nalewki. Quince adds a citrus-like sharpness and floral perfume to the deep cherry base, so it tastes crisper than most fruit liqueurs. It is an autumn vodka liqueur for those who like tang over sweetness, served with rich seasonal food.
Cherry, quince and a crisp finish
- Nose: Sour cherry, perfumed quince and a light lemon-peel brightness.
- Palate: Tangy and fruity, with cherry depth and bright, slightly astringent quince.
- Finish: Crisp and tart, noticeably drier than many fruit liqueurs.
That dry edge sets it apart from sweeter cherry liqueur styles and keeps it fresh alongside food.
How to drink Soplica Halloween Cherry and Quince
Serve it chilled and neat in a small glass, or over ice with a twist of lemon. The tart fruit cuts through fatty, savoury dishes: try it with roast duck, a coarse game pâté or grilled oscypek, the smoked sheep's cheese from the Tatra highlands, with cranberry sauce. Dark chocolate and spiced autumn cakes also work well after dinner.
What to mix with Soplica Halloween Cherry and Quince
- Quince Sparkler: 30 ml in a flute, topped with 100 ml chilled dry cava.
- Cherry Quince Tonic: 50 ml over ice in a balloon glass with 120 ml tonic water and a lemon twist.
- Mulled Cherry Cup: 40 ml stirred into 120 ml warm (not boiling) red grape juice with a cinnamon stick.
How it compares
Soplica Halloween Cherry and Mirabelle, its seasonal twin, is rounder and sweeter thanks to honeyed yellow plum. Quince fans can also look at Soplica Winter Pear, Quince and Cloves, where the same tart fruit meets mellow pear and clove spice instead of cherry. All three are bottled at 25%, so the choice is purely about flavour.

Soplica produced this flavour as a limited Halloween edition, so stock depends on the season. The Soplica Halloween Cherry and Quince 50cl bottle makes a thoughtful host gift for an autumn supper.

Po polsku
Wiśnia i pigwa to dwa owoce, z których w Polsce tradycyjnie robi się domowe nalewki, i właśnie je łączy Soplica Halloween Cherry and Quince (Wiśnia•Pigwa). Ten sezonowy likier na bazie wódki ma 25% alkoholu i pojemność 0,5 l. Pigwa wnosi cytrusową ostrość do wiśniowej bazy, dlatego smak jest kwaskowy i rześki, bardziej wytrawny niż w wielu likierach owocowych. Warto podać go schłodzonego, samego lub z lodem i skórką cytryny, na przykład do pieczonej kaczki albo grillowanego oscypka z żurawiną.
