Traditional guignolet is obtained primarily by macerating cherries (often unpitted) in neutral spirit or a base alcohol, followed by filtration and addition of sugar syrup. The 'Guignolet Kirsch' variant is produced by blending guignolet with kirsch (cherry eau-de-vie), in accordance with technical provisions recognized at EU level.

Distillation

Typically maceration of cherries in alcohol; the 'kirsch' component is obtained by distillation of cherry eau-de-vie and is sometimes blended with guignolet to create variants such as 'Guignolet Kirsch'.
