Product details
Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry is a Polish black cherry vodka liqueur that adds dark cherry fruit to the bitter-sweet Żołądkowa Gorzka recipe, bottled at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. In Poland it is sold as Żołądkowa Gorzka Czarna Wiśnia. Its taste recalls a home-made cherry nalewka, with dark fruit at the front and the brand's herbal bitterness underneath. This cherry liqueur appeals to people who find straight fruit liqueurs too simple and like a little spice and bitterness with their fruit.
Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry tasting notes
- Nose: Dark cherry and cherry stone, with a touch of clove.

How to serve Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry
Serve it chilled in a small glass, or over ice with a twist of orange. Chocolate desserts, poppy-seed roll, roast duck with cherry sauce and soft cheeses all suit the dark fruit. It is a good bottle to open on a winter evening or after Christmas dinner, poured in small measures for sipping.

How it compares
Black Cherry is fruitier and sweeter than Żołądkowa Gorzka Traditional, the original herbal liqueur, with the herbs moved into the background. Against Żołądkowa Gorzka Fig, it is brighter and juicier, whereas the fig version is denser and more dried-fruit in character. Lubelska Cherry is a lighter, purely fruity alternative with no herbal bitterness.

Po polsku
Żołądkowa Gorzka Czarna Wiśnia (Black Cherry) to słodko-gorzki likier na bazie wódki o mocy 28%, w butelce 0,5 l, w którym do klasycznej ziołowej bazy marki dodano ciemne wiśnie. Smakiem przypomina domową nalewkę wiśniową: na początku słodka, ciemna wiśnia, pod nią delikatna ziołowa goryczka i karmel. Finisz jest średnio długi, z kompotem wiśniowym i nutą gorzkiego migdała. Warto podawać ją schłodzoną, z lodem i skórką pomarańczy, na przykład do deserów czekoladowych lub makowca.
Frequently asked questions
Is Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry a nalewka?
No, Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry is a vodka-based liqueur rather than a true nalewka, the traditional Polish tincture made by steeping fruit in spirit for weeks or months. The flavour of Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry, though, deliberately recalls a home-made cherry nalewka.
Is Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry bitter?
Yes, but only gently: Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry keeps a light herbal bitterness from the Żołądkowa Gorzka recipe, with sweet dark cherry and caramel in front. A dry, bitter-almond edge appears on the finish.
Can you add Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry to mulled wine?
Yes, a splash of Żołądkowa Gorzka Black Cherry deepens a glass of mulled wine with dark fruit and a hint of herbs. Add about 20 ml per glass just before serving, so the heat does not dull the cherry aroma.
