Cocktail Cherries!
Mess Hall Cocktail Cherries are especially crafted for the high quality of cocktails that are being stirred, shaken and poured across the globe.

Our cherries provide the home and professional bartender more acidity, more complexity, and more textural integrity in the cherry itself, for a better end cocktail.

We have over 35 shops stocking our cherries on their shelves and a growing list of bars using our cherries behind the bar. We are officially launching our 32 oz. jar for the professional bar in July 2015 at Tales of the Cocktail. We have had some pretty incredible bars come on board recently…

Silver Dollar (Louiville, KY-GQ's Ten Best Whiskey Bars)

The Westgate Hotel (San Diego, CA, Travel + Leisure 500 Best Resorts and Hotels in the World)

Before Mess Hall Cocktail Co. I worked as a chef for the past ten years, working in some of the country's best restaurants (the first woman to be hired in Avenues/Graham Elliot, Spiaggia/Missy Robbins) before taking on the role of Executive Chef and being named by Time Out Chicago,12 most important Chefs right Now Nov. 2009.

We preserve our cherries by hand, with demerara sugar, a splash of bourbon, and the smallest notes of black peppercorn, star anise, cassia cinnamon bark and rose petals–just enough to put the spotlight on the beautiful balaton cherry, along with the cocktail it graces.
