Heering saw the intrinsic potential in an old cherry liqueur recipe that was bestowed upon him. The word spread and soon everybody wanted a taste of the sophisticated Danish liqueur. As with all things fashionable, the aristocracy caught on and before long, Peter F. Heering's liqueur company was purveyor to royal courts from Great Britain to Japan. During all of its 200-year-long history, Cherry Heering has been a small but indispensable component of iconic cocktails such as the Singapore Sling and Blood and Sand. Today, as we celebrate the iconic cherry liqueur's 200th anniversary, Heering can be found in every cocktail bar worth their salt – and will surely remain there for at least another 200 years. Cherry Heering was integrated into the premium portfolio of the traditional Dutch family owned company De Kuyper Royal Distillers in October 2017.
