Cherry vodka is a tasty spirit option for those who enjoy the sweetness of cherries. The drink combines vodka with cherry flavoring, usually from real cherries, cherry juice or syrup. This gives the neutral vodka a sweet, fruity taste. Many people find cherry vodka to be a more approachable alternative to straight vodka. The subtle cherry notes make it smoother and easier to drink for those new to spirits. It’s also popular with those who like sweeter cocktails or want to add some flavor to a vodka soda or tonic water. Check out our favorite cherry flavored vodkas below.
