Krupnik Cherry Liqueur 500ml

Krupnik Cherry Liqueur is a Polish cherry liqueur, sold at home as Krupnik Wiśnia, made at the Starogard Gdański distillery in northern Poland. It is bottled at 26% ABV in a 500ml bottle and belongs to Krupnik’s fruit liqueur line, which the producer says is made to original recipes with a large share of natural juice.

Krupnik began with its honey and spice Old Liqueur, a recipe the brand traces back to the late 1600s, but the range now runs to fruit, bitter and creamy liqueurs. The cherry sits in the fruit line alongside lemon, plum, quince and nut. It is made by Premium Distillers, part of the United Beverages Group, at a distillery whose history goes back to 1846 and which was renovated between 2022 and 2026.

Keep the bottle in the fridge or freezer and serve it well chilled, neat in a shot or small tumbler. For a longer drink, pour 40ml over ice and top with soda water or tonic, with a squeeze of lemon to sharpen the fruit. It also works with cola, in a cherry sour with lemon juice and a little egg white, or as a splash in a glass of sparkling wine. In winter, a measure stirred into hot black tea is a simple warmer. For food, try it with dark chocolate, cheesecake, a Black Forest cake or vanilla ice cream. At 26% it has a bit more warmth than a light fruit cordial, and it suits anyone who likes a fuller cherry sip served cold, or a fruit liqueur to share after dinner with friends and family.
