cherry flavor

Red fruit essence

Cherry flavor is the taste associated with cherries, though artificial cherry flavoring rarely resembles actual fruit.

The distinctive sweet-medicinal taste of artificial cherry dominates cough syrups, candy, and soft drinks: Kids' medicine always comes in cherry flavor.

The gap between "cherry-flavored" and real cherry taste is so wide that each has become its own reference point.
