Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur 375 ML
About this bottle
Luxardo Maraschino Originale is an Italian liqueur made by Luxardo, a distilling house founded in 1821, from Marasca cherries — pits, stems and all — distilled and then sweetened to 32% ABV. Unlike a typical fruit liqueur, it isn't cherry-flavored in a straightforward way; distilling the whole fruit produces a dry, almond-and-stone-fruit character rather than candied sweetness. The nose carries wood and bitter almond, the palate is clean and dry with a whisper of cherry pit, and the finish is crisp rather than syrupy. This is a bartender's staple more than a sipping liqueur, essential for anyone building classic cocktails that call for real maraschino rather than a cherry-flavored substitute.
How to drink Luxardo Maraschino Originale
This isn't a sipping liqueur — it earns its place in a Last Word, an Aviation, or a Hemingway Daiquiri, where a small amount adds dry, almond-tinged depth rather than sweetness. A few drops also lift a classic Daiquiri or a Martinez.
