The Danish Gin Fizz adds Scandinavian flair to the classic fizz template with cherry Heering, the celebrated Danish cherry liqueur that has been produced in Copenhagen since 1818. Cherry Heering also stars in the Singapore Sling and the Blood and Sand, making it one of the most versatile liqueurs in cocktail history. Here, it joins gin, Kirschwasser cherry brandy, lime juice, and sugar, topped with soda water. The double dose of cherry — Heering’s sweet depth plus Kirschwasser’s dry intensity — gives this fizz a distinctive ruby tint and a rich fruit character that sets it apart from the standard Gin Fizz.
