This cocktail is like a red silk dress at a party where everyone’s a little mysterious and dangerously charming. It was first dreamt up by a bartender in Kraków who once said, “Every proper duchess should know the taste of desire.” The Bloody Duchess is made for those who aren’t afraid to leave an impression — or a trail of admirers.
As bold as a late-night red carpet and as refined as a kiss in the dark. Sweet Cherry Kiss meets a twist of lemon sharpness, while a splash of soda keeps things light but never boring. It’s a cocktail of contrasts — rich cherry depth balanced with bright citrus and sparkling clarity. A true diva in a glass.

Gold Daddy tips
Want to turn heads even harder? Try using a luxuriously dark cherry nectar for deeper colour and richness. And don’t skimp on the garnish — a maraschino cherry soaked in vodka makes a queen-worthy upgrade. Serve in a tall glass with thin, glistening ice cubes for that haute-couture touch. Bloody Duchess doesn’t do average.
Long live the duchess
There are drinks you forget, and then there are those you remember forever. The Bloody Duchess falls firmly in the latter. One part elegance, one part mystery — and 100% unforgettable.
