About Cocktail cherry

A cocktail cherry is a preserved cherry prepared for use as a garnish, commonly served whole in drinks and desserts. The term covers products that may differ in cherry variety, colour, sweetening and preservation; it does not specify one exact recipe.

The cherries are typically glossy, soft and sweet, often with a pronounced syrupy flavour. They may be sold with or without stems, in syrup or drained, and can be brightly coloured or more naturally toned. Those differences affect both flavour and texture.
