Product details
Nalewka Lwówecka Cherries in Alcohol Liqueur is a Polish cherry nalewka with whole fruit, made from selected aromatic cherries grown around Lwówek Wielkopolski, at 14% ABV in a 75cl bottle. The Polish name, Wiśnie w Alkoholu, says exactly what it is: cherries steeped in alcohol to an old home recipe. You get two things in one bottle, a rich cherry liqueur to pour and soaked fruit to spoon out. It is lighter in alcohol than most liqueurs on our shelves, which makes it an easy choice for dessert lovers and for long family lunches.
Lwówecka Cherries in Alcohol tasting notes
- Nose: Dark cherry, a little marzipan and soaked, boozy fruit.
- Palate: Sweet and rounded, with juicy cherries and a gentle tartness.
- Finish: Soft, fruity and lightly almond-tinged.
How to serve Nalewka Lwówecka Cherries
Pour the liqueur chilled into a small glass, then spoon the cherries over vanilla ice cream, into a chocolate sponge or beside naleśniki. The soaked fruit also works in a Black Forest-style trifle or on top of a baked cheesecake. It is a generous dessert bottle for Christmas, Easter or a family birthday, when there are plenty of people to share the fruit.
Ways to use the liqueur and the fruit
