Kirsch

Kirsch is a distilled spirit made from fermented fruit (most often grapes) and is traditionally produced in regions such as Cognac and Jerez; it’s commonly enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or used for deglazing and sauces in cooking. It is energy-dense — 231kcal per 100g — and contains virtually no protein, fiber, fat or carbohydrates, so it contributes calories without providing significant nutrients. Nutritionally it is not a source of vitamins or minerals and should be consumed in moderation; it does contain small amounts of phenolic compounds that can have antioxidant properties, but those occur at low levels compared with wine or whole fruit.
