Luxardo Maraschino Cherries

The benchmark cocktail cherry — and a completely different world from the bright red supermarket versions. Produced in Italy by the historic Luxardo family (est. 1821), these are m ade from real marasca cherries, preserved whole and candied in their own rich syrup rather than being artificially dyed or heavily processed. They’re deep, almost black-red in colour, with a firm bite and a flavour that’s closer to dark cherry liqueur, almond and bittersweet fruit than sugary confection. Expect intense cherry depth, light marzipan notes and a gentle tangy finish, all carried by a thick, glossy syrup that’s almost as useful in cocktails as the fruit itself. Show more
