Sweet-tart, rich in flavor, and crafted with care, Traverse City Whiskey Co.’s Premium Cocktail Cherries are more than just a garnish—they’re a statement. Grown in Northern Michigan, candied, and slow-cooked in copper pots, these cherries bring fruitiness, depth, and elegance to cocktails, desserts—or simply eaten by the jar. Natural, bold, and balanced, they bridge the line between sweet indulgence and refined accompaniment.
Product Details
- Fruit Source: Northern Michigan Balaton cherries
- Processing: Slow-cooked and candied; hot-filled in copper pots with a syrup buffered to protect fruit texture
- Flavor Profile: Sweet and tart with chocolate and earthy undertones; less sugar-heavy than many cocktail cherries
- Texture: Large, firm, plump cherries with a slight bite—resilient in cocktails rather than mushy
- Additions & Ingredients: Includes natural syrup and trace flavoring; aromatic hints from bourbon soak in some batches, though any alcohol is cooked off during processing
- Allergens / Labels: All-natural; gluten-free; no artificial colors or preservatives; certified kosher
Sensory Description
On first taste, you’ll notice the depth of the dark burgundy skin and rich cherry flesh—sweet, yet balanced by shade of tartness. Chocolate-tinged fruit flavors emerge, underpinned by a whisper of earthiness. The texture is firm and satisfying, rather than syrupy, so the cherries hold up in stirred cocktails like Manhattans or Old Fashioneds. The syrup is rich but not cloying, adding warmth and body without overwhelming the fruit’s character.
Producer’s Background
Traverse City Whiskey Co., based in Traverse City, Michigan—known as the “Cherry Capital of the World”—brings its heritage to fruit as well as spirits. Their Premium Cocktail Cherries are a product of both local farming tradition (Balaton cherries grown in Northern Michigan) and the distillery’s passion for craft. The cherries are jarred using traditional hot-fill methods and prepared to reflect both fruit quality and product integrity.
Usage & Pairing Suggestions
Ideal as a garnish for classic whiskey cocktails—Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Bourbon Highball—or stirred into darker spirits or cognac. Spoon syrup over vanilla ice cream, cheesecakes, or use as a decadent dessert topping. A cherry eaten straight from the jar offers an elevated treat as well. These are cherries that add depth, elegance, and flavor wherever fruit belongs.
