Heering Cherry Liqueur is a Danish liqueur flavored with cherries. It is often referred to simply as Peter Heering or Cherry Heering in cocktail recipes.

History and Uses

[edit]

Heering Cherry Liqueur has been produced since 1818, and the company is purveyor to the Royal Danish Court and formerly to Queen Elizabeth II.[1] It is sold in more than 100 countries.[2]

Heering Cherry Liqueur is an ingredient of cocktails including the Singapore Sling and Blood & Sand.[3] Cherry Heering is used in baking; some of the alcohol evaporates as part of the process.[4]

Historically produced by the Peter F. Heering company in Denmark, the liqueur brand was acquired by Dutch spirits group DeKuyper for an undisclosed sum in October 2017.[5]
