Product details
Lubelska Cherry is a Polish cherry vodka liqueur, made from vodka and a natural infusion of cherries and bottled at 25% ABV in a 50cl bottle. In Poland the same bottle is sold as Lubelska Wiśniówka, the time-honoured name for a cherry infusion. Steeping the fruit in alcohol gives a ruby colour and a taste that recalls ripe cherries rather than boiled sweets, sweet but with a dry edge. This is a cherry liqueur for relaxed evenings, poured cold after dinner or stretched into an easy long drink with friends.
What Lubelska Cherry tastes like
- Nose: Ripe sour cherry and red berry juice, with a faint almond note from the stones.
- Palate: Juicy and fruit-forward, sweet at first, then kept fresh by a lively acidity.
- Finish: Clean and fairly short, leaving a tart cherry-skin dryness behind.
How to serve Lubelska Cherry
Serve it straight from the fridge in a small glass, or over ice with a twist of orange peel to sharpen the fruit. Lubelska Cherry goes well with poppy-seed cake (makowiec), pancakes with sweet cream cheese and a square of dark chocolate. It also slips easily into a pot of hot black tea on a cold evening, a habit many Polish households keep through the winter.
Long drinks with Lubelska Cherry
- Cherry Cola: pour 50 ml Lubelska Cherry over ice in a highball, top with 150 ml cola and squeeze in a wedge of lime.
- Cherry Almond Fizz: stir 40 ml Lubelska Cherry and 10 ml amaretto over ice, then top with 100 ml soda water.
- Winter Cherry Tea: add 30 ml Lubelska Cherry to 150 ml freshly brewed black tea with a strip of orange peel.
How it compares
Beside Lubelska Blackcurrant, which sits at 30%, the cherry version is lighter, sweeter and juicier, while the blackcurrant is drier and darker. Lubelska Cranberry offers a similar red-fruit colour with sharper acidity and a cleaner, drier finish. If you like cherry with a herbal twist, Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry sets dark fruit against a bitter-sweet spice recipe instead of pure fruit.

Po polsku
Lubelska Wiśniówka (Cherry) to likier na bazie wódki o mocy 25%, sprzedawany w butelce 0,5 l. Powstaje z naturalnego nastawu: wiśnie moczą się w alkoholu, co daje rubinowy kolor i smak świeżych owoców, a nie cukierków. W kieliszku czuć soczystą, dojrzałą wiśnię z orzeźwiającą kwasowością i nutą migdała. Najlepiej podawać ją prosto z lodówki albo z lodem i skórką pomarańczy, na przykład do makowca.
