Premium Cocktail Cherries for Gourmet Enjoyment

Approximately 14,000 years ago, the receding of glacier ice created the massive body of water known as Mishigami, marking the beginning of the story behind Peninsula Premium Cherries. Today, the areas surrounding the fertile land overlooking Lake Michigan, including Sleeping Bear Dunes, Little Sable Point, and Grand Traverse Bay, are collectively referred to as "the Third Coast" - the primary source of the finest Napoleon, Emperor Francis, and Gold cherries that are carefully cultivated, harvested, and selected to craft the wonderfully delicious and extraordinary Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries experience.

Harvested within days of July 4th each year, Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries boast a real fruit flavor that captures the full nuance of seasonal cherries. These deep, dark burgundy-red colored cherries are enrobed in a silky smooth and rich syrup, delivering a nutty, fruit-forward, sweet-tart, and luxurious taste with faint earthy undertones - a truly extraordinary indulgence.

In 2019, Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries were awarded the prestigious Double Gold honor at the SIP Awards, an internationally recognized consumer-judged competition, a testament to the care and craftsmanship invested in their production. 100% American grown and made, these cherries are the perfect complement for classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and Whiskey Sours, as well as a delightful addition to ice cream, gelato, and an array of desserts.

Boasting unique features, Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries stand in elegant contrast to the mass-produced gourmet maraschino cherries. Their extraordinary, nutty, and real tart cherry flavor, with faint earthy undertones and elderberry notes, is achieved through the use of seasonally fresh-harvested Napoleon, Emperor Francis, and Gold cherries, resulting in a naturally deep, dark burgundy-red color and a silky smooth, richly comfortable syrup.

Beyond cocktails, Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries can elevate a variety of desserts, from chocolate cakes and cookies to cheesecake and trifles, and even when dipped in chocolate. The 10.5 oz size jar contains approximately 30 cherries, while the 20 oz size offers around 60 cherries, making them a versatile and indulgent ingredient for both professional and home use.

Gluten-free, preservative-free, and certified Kosher, Peninsula Premium Cocktail Cherries are a testament to the art of craftsmanship and the celebration of natural flavors. Whether in cocktails, desserts, or as a standalone treat, these award-winning cherries are a must-try for anyone seeking a truly extraordinary culinary experience.
