Cherry Cordial is one of the many alchemy ingredients used for potion crafting in the Witcher 3. You need it to craft White Gull, Alcohest and for Superior and Enhanced versions of several potions and decoctions. Unlike other alchemy ingredients, you cannot craft Cherry Cordial.
You have a chance to loot it from enemies and chests that are encountered randomly. However, if you are short on time, your only option is to purchase Cherry Cordial. The following guide will tell you where to get as many Cherry cordials as you want in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Locations you can buy Cherry Cordial in Witcher 3
It is important to note that not all vendors will sell Cherry Cordial in The Witcher 3. You need to find an innkeeper or the bartender inside an inn or tavern to buy some Cherry Cordial.
Every merchant will have a limited number of Cherry Cordials to sell. The item itself is pretty cheap, but you will need to fast travel to all of the innkeepers to buy all of their Cherry Cordials before waiting by meditating for them to restock their inventories.
The best location to get the most Cherry Cordial is the Svorlag tavern on the Spikeroog island in Skellige. This is the only innkeeper selling you around 14 to 15 Cherry Cordial bottles at once.
The price of Cherry Cordial is consistent across all vendors. Below are all of the locations where you can purchase Cherry Cordial in The Witcher 3.
1. White Orchard Innkeeper
The White Orchard Inn is one of the first locations you will visit in The Witcher 3. The tavern is located next to the Woesong Bridge in White Orchard and is run by Elsa. Find her inside to see her inventory.
2. Crow’s Perch merchant, Velen
