At the end of the 19th Century, it became all the rage among bar patrons of finer establishments to request that their cocktails be garnished with expensive preserved cherries. These first “cocktail cherries” were a fancy variety that were preserved in spiced sugar syrup with the addition of a small amount of cherry distillate.

Tempus Fugit have revived a historic recipe from the early 1890s to craft the style of preserved cherries used in cocktails before 1920. Wild Italian Amarena cherries, known for their unique flavour, are preserved in wild Amarena cherry juice, sugar syrup, traditional gum arabic, spices, and kirsch (cherry brandy) to create an authentic cocktail cherry that perfectly complements your favourite drink or dessert recipe.

Complex and intricate cherry flavour with baking spice to back it up, these cherries have a delightfully tart finish and a subtle citrus undertone.

From rare fruit, flower, and plant liqueurs to bitters, amari, vermouth and chinati, Tempus Fugit prides itself in finding out what’s missing from the back bar of the most discerning bartenders.
