Cornelito

Cornelito Cornelian Cherry Liqueur with Orange, Cacao and Warm Spice

Cornelito began with a harvest of deep-red Cornelian cherries gathered from my own garden, their naturally sharp, vibrant flavour calling for something richer than a simple fruit infusion. Vodka provides a clean foundation, while white and muscovado sugars soften the cherries with contrasting sweetness. Honey adds roundness and a silky edge. Vanilla and cinnamon bring warmth, allspice adds gentle complexity, and fresh orange zest lifts the darker notes. A restrained touch of cacao nibs finishes the liqueur with subtle roasted depth. The result is a ruby-red garden liqueur that moves between tart fruit, warming spice and dark, mellow sweetness.
