Sauer-Kirsche Essence - Pure Cherry, 40 ml, for 4 L

If you value the elegance of simple, fruit-based distillates, you surely know the legendary taste of cherry eau-de-vie that has delighted lovers of strong spirits in Switzerland, Germany, and Alsace for centuries. Traditional, crystal-clear cherry distillates are made from fermented fruit together with the stones, which imparts subtle almond notes and a deep, clean aroma. These spirits are simple in form yet extremely noble—their exceptional nature is symbolized by their transparency, concealing perfect flavor. These drinks inspired us to create the Sauer-Kirsche essence, which captures the characteristic, dry profile of pure cherry in a clear and modern form.

• Exceptional taste - the Sauer-Kirsche flavoring highlights the natural character of cherries, without excessive sweetness and without colorants. The essence is delicate and light, with a perfectly balanced fruit-and-stone aroma.
• Ideal for cocktails or neat - pure cherry in a modern form: colorless, with a rich aroma.
• An economical way to make a premium-style homemade drink - create a clear, aromatic beverage with a well-balanced profile without straining your budget. One small bottle will let you prepare as much as 4 L of a drink with refined aroma and taste.
• No preservatives - so you can be sure that when making your homemade drinks, you aren’t adding unnecessary ingredients!
• Convenient dosing - the 40 ml bottle of flavoring has special indentations that allow you to precisely measure 10 ml portions—each will easily make 1 L of drink.
•  Delicious drink in 24 h - mix your favorite high-proof beverage with the Sauer-Kirsche essence, leave it for a day and… done! For an even better effect, leave the drink for a few days so the aromas can fully meld and round out.

How to use the Sauer-Kirsche flavor essence / flavoring?

The “liqueur” option:

Pour 4 L of high-proof alcohol (40-45% pure vodka) into a vessel, add 160 to 320 g of sugar, and then add the flavor essence. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Leave for at least 24 hours* – and the liqueur is ready. Enjoy!

*For the best flavor and aroma, we recommend consuming the drink after about a week.

To prepare a smaller portion, use the indentations on the bottle to measure out 10 ml of essence, i.e., a portion for 1 liter of alcohol, proportionally reducing the amount of sugar added.

Flavor variants:

• Dry (eau-de-vie style): without added sugar - a pure cherry character with a gentle stone note. To boost the flavor, we recommend adding 2 teaspoons of sugar (approx. 30 g per 4 L of alcohol), which slightly rounds the aromatic profile without losing dryness.
• Semi-dry: 160-200 g of sugar per 4 L - a balanced, slightly rounded taste.
• Semi-sweet: 250-320 g of sugar per 4 L - a fuller, fruit-forward profile in the style of classic liqueurs.
