Timeless Summer is our tribute to Ukraine’s cherished tradition of nalyvka

A fruit liqueur made by patiently infusing whole sour cherries until their vivid colour and natural flavour come alive. The result is a bright ruby liqueur that’s juicy, lightly sweet and refreshingly tart.

Lighter and less sugary than most liqueurs, it’s perfect sipped neat, over ice or as the star in a spritz. Think long summer afternoons, good company and a taste that feels both nostalgic and timeless.

A Note from the Distillers

Growing up in Ukraine, nalyvka was simply part of life. Almost every family had someone making it, a grandparent in the cellar, an aunt in the pantry - jars of fruit quietly steeping away through summer. For us, it’s a familiar sight tied to long days, stained fingers from sour cherries and the hum of family gatherings.

This Sour Cherry Nalyvka is deeply personal. It’s a way of carrying those memories forward. The fruit-stained hands, the cool cellar air and the quiet pride that came with a well-made batch, without overcomplicating something that was always straightforward.

Made with real sour cherries and slowly infused, it develops its natural bright ruby colour and a flavour that is gently sweet upfront, followed by a clean, lively tartness and a soft hint of vanilla.

Rooted in Ukrainian hospitality and recipes passed down without fuss, this isn’t about reinvention. It’s about keeping tradition alive.
