Cherry Heering

Cherry Heering is a cherry flavoured liqueur that most people either love or hate. To those who love it, it has a rich, luscious cherry flavour; for those who hate it, it tastes like cough medicine.

From Wikipedia:
Peter Heering is a Danish manufacturer of liqueurs, most famous for Heering Cherry Liqueur, a liqueur flavored with cherries which is often referred to simply as Peter Heering or Cherry Heering in cocktail recipes. Heering Cherry Liqueur has been produced since 1818, and the company is purveyor to the Royal Danish Court and to Queen Elizabeth II. It is sold in more than 100 countries.

Heering Cherry Liqueur is an ingredient of cocktails including the Singapore Sling, and Blood & Sand. Cherry Heering is used in baking; some of the alcohol evaporates.
It makes a great flavour enhancer for Black Forest cake. I have used it when making a "trifle" version of Black Forest cake, soaking the cherries in the liqueur and sprinkling a little over the baked cake rounds before assembling the trifle. Yum!
