While the folk at Ableforth's enjoy using some very elaborate equipment and complicated calculations just to make their morning coffee, there are times where they like to keep it simple. As such, their spectacularly flavoursome Cherry Brandy is made using cherries and brandy - a change from most 'cherry brandies', which are made with neutral spirit and/or flavouring. Ableforth's use only the finest cherries and high-quality brandy from a rather famous region in France in their Cherry Brandy.
Ableforth's Cherry Brandy works in a number of cocktails, such as the Blood Sand and the Cherry Sour. That's why we've done the decent thing and included a couple of Ableforth's very own recipes (see videos below)...
Ableforth's Blood and Sand recipe:
25ml of Ableforth's Cherry Brandy
25ml of Scotch whisky
25ml of orange juice
25ml of sweet vermouth
Shake all ingredients over ice, strain into a chilled coupe glass, garnish with an orange zest and serve.
Ableforth's Cherry Sour recipe:
40ml of Ableforth's Cherry Brandy
25ml of lemon juice
5ml of sugar syrup
Dash of Angostura bitters
Shake all ingredients over ice, strain into ice-filled glass and top with soda. Garnish with a lemon and cherry slice and serve.
Complex bakewell notes with rich cherry, marzipan, crushed almonds and a floral edge complemented by nutmeg and cinnamon spiciness.
Bonkers mouthfeel, so unctuous and thick with that allspice and damson alongside dark cherries and fresh tannic grip.
More complex cherry goodness and spices. Christmassy.
Delicious, unctuous, original and oh so right.

Seriously. You know the juice you get in those Luxardo Cherries? It's almost identical to that, just with a lovely boozy-undertone from the brandy. Incredible, incredible drink.
Sweet, oleaginous, warming cherries. Encore!
Liked it very much! Will u b getting more in?
Everybody I gave it to is just awed. This is delicious!
My dad bought the Christmas cracker set this year & at Christmas, we were all fighting over who would win the cherry brandy. I did, and boy am I glad I did. I've actually never tasted cherry brandy & now I'm hooked! It is delicious! Have bought myself a big bottle & think it will become a favourite after dinner night cap.
