kirsch

It is sweetened with cherry preserves and spiked with kirsch for extra cherry flavor.

The final blend is about 15 percent Australian fruit, and features what the winery calls “brazen Penfolds markers” of “mocha and kirsch.”

Alternatively, you could invest in some kirsch for the season, since it is also called for in Liam Charles’s wholly nontraditional cherry bakewell custard tart.

If you find the mixture is too thick at this point, stir in the additional tablespoon of kirsch and/or additional wine.

Champagne, whiskey, kirsch, eau de vie, beer, cognac, wines white and red — the bottles keep coming.
