Caffo Maraschino Qualita Superiore Antica Ricetta Di Zara 750 ml

Caffo Maraschino Qualita Superiore is a maraschino liqueur made from Marasca cherries, following an antique recipe referenced in the bottling as originating from Zara (the historic name for Zadar, in modern Croatia, once the birthplace of commercial maraschino production). Maraschino liqueur is distilled from the cherries, pits and all, giving it a distinctive almond-like bitterness alongside cherry fruit rather than the syrupy sweetness of a simple cherry liqueur. Expect cherry, almond, and light herbal notes on the nose, a dry, aromatic palate, and a clean finish. A classic bar-shelf staple for cocktails like the Aviation or Hemingway Daiquiri.

How to drink Caffo Maraschino

Use it in small amounts in an Aviation or Last Word, where its dry, almond-tinged cherry character is meant to season the drink rather than dominate it.
