Concentrated Cherry Flavouring for Brewing, Drinks & Baking
Add rich, fruity cherry character to beer, cider, spirits, cocktails, desserts and baked goods with Flavour Burst Cherry Essence 50ml.
This concentrated cherry flavouring essence is a versatile way to introduce cherry aroma and flavour without adding large quantities of fruit, juice or puree.
For home brewers, it is particularly useful in fruit beers, sour beers, cherry stouts, porters and Kriek-style recipes where controlled cherry flavour is desired. It can also be used in cider, spirits and mixed drinks, as well as cakes, icing, desserts and confectionery.
Because Flavour Burst Cherry Essence is highly concentrated, only a small amount may be required. Add gradually until you reach your preferred level of cherry flavour.

Cherry Essence for Home Brewing
Flavour Burst Cherry Essence makes it easy to add cherry character to beer without introducing the variability and extra fermentation associated with fresh fruit.
It can work particularly well in:
- Cherry Stout
- Cherry Porter
- Fruit Sour
- Kriek-style Beer
- Berliner Weisse
- Wheat Beer
- Pale Ale
- Specialty Beer
- Dessert & Pastry Beer
For the best results, add the essence gradually rather than dosing the entire batch at once.
How to Dose Cherry Essence in Beer
The ideal dosage depends on the beer style and the intensity of cherry flavour you want.
A simple method is to bench trial the essence in a measured sample:
- Pour a known volume of finished beer into a glass.
- Add a very small measured amount of Cherry Essence.
- Taste and adjust until the cherry character is where you want it.
- Calculate the equivalent dosage for your full batch.
- Add gradually and mix gently.
This method gives you much greater control and helps prevent the cherry flavour from becoming overpowering.
Cherry Essence for Cider, Spirits & Drinks
Cherry Essence can also be used to introduce fruit character into a wide range of beverages.
Try it in:
- Apple cider
- Pear cider
- Neutral spirits
- Gin
- Vodka-style drinks
- Cocktails
- Mocktails
- Soft drinks
- Milkshakes
- Homemade syrups
Because this is a general-purpose Cherry Essence rather than a pre-mixed spirit flavouring, you can control exactly how much cherry character is added.
Cherry Essence for Baking & Desserts
Flavour Burst Cherry Essence can also be used in food preparation where concentrated cherry flavour is required.
Suitable applications include:
- Cakes
- Cupcakes
- Buttercream
- Icing
- Cheesecake
- Chocolate desserts
- Confectionery
- Ice cream
- Sauces
- Dessert fillings
Add gradually and adjust according to the recipe and desired flavour intensity.
Cherry & Chocolate
Cherry works particularly well with chocolate flavours, making this essence a useful addition to both brewing and baking.
In beer, try pairing Cherry Essence with:
- Chocolate Stout
- Porter
- Imperial Stout
- Pastry Stout
In desserts, cherry pairs particularly well with chocolate cakes, brownies, cheesecake and ganache.
