Product details
Krupnik Cherry is a Polish cherry vodka liqueur that combines Krupnik vodka with juicy, sweet cherries for a clear, ruby-red drink at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. On Polish shelves it is sold as the Wiśnia cherry liqueur, and like many traditional cherry liqueurs it carries a gentle almond-like stone note behind the fruit. The texture is fairly dense and syrupy, so a small pour goes a long way. It appeals to fans of homemade wiśniówka and to anyone who wants an easy-going cherry vodka for dessert, Christmas gatherings or a winter evening by the fire.
Krupnik Cherry flavour profile
- Nose: Ripe dark cherry, cherry jam and a hint of marzipan.
- Palate: Juicy and sweet, with a sour-cherry tang and a smooth, rounded body.
- Finish: Medium length and fruity, with a faint cherry-stone bitterness.
How to serve Krupnik Cherry
Serve it chilled in a small glass, or over ice with a slice of lemon to sharpen the fruit. It goes well with dark chocolate, roast duck with red cabbage or a cheese board with blue cheese. A splash over vanilla ice cream or a bowl of fresh cherries makes a quick dessert, and a glass after Christmas dinner suits its warm, jammy flavour.
Krupnik Cherry cocktails
- Cherry Royale: pour 25 ml Krupnik Cherry into a flute and top slowly with 100 ml chilled sparkling wine.
- Cherry Lemon Sour: shake 50 ml Krupnik Cherry, 25 ml fresh lemon juice and one egg white hard with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe.
- Cherry Cola: fill a highball with ice, add 40 ml and top with 120 ml cola and a squeeze of lime.
How it compares
Krupnik Bitter Cherry adds herbs and spice and has a drier, bittersweet finish at 30%. For another orchard fruit at the same 28%, Krupnik Plum is mellower and jammier, with less acidity. Krupnik Pomegranate is lighter at 21% and tarter, while this cherry liqueur is sweeter and denser.

Po polsku
Rubinowy, klarowny Krupnik Wiśnia (Cherry) łączy wódkę Krupnik z dojrzałymi, słodkimi wiśniami z Polski. To owocowy likier na bazie wódki o mocy 28%, w butelce 0,5 l, o dość gęstej, lekko syropowej konsystencji. Słodycz owocu przełamuje kwaskowatość wiśni, a w tle pojawia się delikatna, migdałowa nuta pestki. Podawać schłodzony w małym kieliszku lub z lodem i plasterkiem cytryny, na przykład do gorzkiej czekolady, pieczonej kaczki albo deski serów.
Frequently asked questions
What does Krupnik Cherry taste like?
Krupnik Cherry tastes of ripe dark cherries and cherry jam with a sour-cherry tang, followed by a faint almond-like stone note on the finish. The body is smooth and fairly dense, and the colour a clear ruby red.
Is Krupnik Cherry like a Polish wiśniówka?
Yes, in style. Krupnik Cherry follows the traditional Polish cherry liqueur known as wiśniówka, combining Krupnik vodka with sweet Polish cherries. The result resembles the fruity, slightly marzipan-tinged cherry liqueur many Polish families make at home.
What cocktail can I make with Krupnik Cherry?
A Cherry Sour suits Krupnik Cherry best, because fresh lemon cuts the sweetness and lightens the dense texture. Use two parts liqueur to one part lemon juice with a dash of sugar syrup, shake hard with ice and serve straight up in a chilled coupe.
