Opies Red Cocktail Cherries 225g

Cocktail Cherries

Opies Red Cocktail Cherries 225g are bright, glossy cherries made for adding that classic finishing touch to cocktails, desserts and bakes. Their vibrant red colour and sweet cherry flavour make them instantly recognisable, whether perched on top of an ice cream sundae or sitting alongside an orange slice in a perfectly mixed cocktail.

Keep a jar handy for decorating Black Forest gateaux, cheesecakes and cupcakes, adding colour to retro desserts or finishing drinks such as a Manhattan or Singapore Sling. They're also brilliant for milkshakes, banana splits and anything involving plenty of whipped cream.

At i4C, we think there's something wonderfully nostalgic about a proper red cocktail cherry. They're a small finishing touch, but put one on top of a sundae or cocktail and somehow the whole thing feels complete.

What is the difference between cocktail cherries and fresh cherries?

Cocktail cherries are preserved and sweetened to give them their distinctive flavour, appearance and texture. Unlike seasonal fresh cherries, they are designed primarily for garnishing drinks, desserts and baked goods.

Which cocktails are traditionally garnished with a cherry?

Cherries are associated with several classic cocktails, including the Manhattan, Singapore Sling and some versions of the Old Fashioned. The exact style of cherry traditionally used varies between cocktails, so bright red cocktail cherries are particularly good when you want a colourful, retro presentation.

Why are red cocktail cherries popular for cake decorating?

Their vibrant colour creates an immediate contrast against chocolate, cream and icing, while their small size makes them easy to position precisely. This is why cocktail cherries have become a familiar decoration for Black Forest gateaux, cupcakes and traditional celebration bakes.
