Luxardo Maraschino Cherries 400g (14.1 oz) | Candied Marasca Cherries soaked in Luxardo marasca cherry syrup | The ultimate cocktail cherry, used in the worlds best bars

I recently purchased Luxardo Maraschino Cherries (400g / 14.1 oz) and they have quickly become a staple in my kitchen and bar. These cherries are absolutely exceptional in every way and truly elevate cocktails, desserts, and even fruit salads to the next level.First, the taste is out of this world. Unlike the overly sweet and artificial maraschino cherries you might find at the grocery store, Luxardo cherries are rich, tangy, and complex, with a subtle hint of almond from the maraschino liqueur they’re soaked in. The balance between sweetness and tartness is perfect, making them a delicious addition to cocktails like Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, or a classic Cherry Brandy. They’re not just for drinks either – I’ve used them as a garnish on cakes and ice cream, and they add a unique burst of flavor that’s simply unmatched by other brands.The quality of the cherries themselves is fantastic. Each cherry is plump, juicy, and firm, without being mushy or overly processed. They hold up well in drinks, maintaining their texture even after sitting in liquid for a while. The syrup they come in is thick, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which allows you to control how much sweetness you want to add to your creations. I also appreciate the presentation—the cherries come in a sturdy glass jar, which not only looks elegant but also keeps them fresh and properly preserved.Overall, the Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are worth every penny. They’re a premium product that truly shines in terms of flavor, quality, and versatility. If you enjoy crafting cocktails, making gourmet desserts, or simply indulging in high-quality cherries, I highly recommend these. They’re a treat you’ll keep coming back to!

If you’ve only ever had the bright red, syrupy maraschino cherries from the supermarket, you’re in for a game-changing experience with Luxardo Maraschino Cherries. These are the real deal—rich, dark, and bursting with deep cherry flavor.The texture is firm and luscious, not mushy like cheaper alternatives. The syrup is thick, luxurious, and packed with natural cherry essence, adding an incredible depth of flavor to cocktails. Whether I’m making an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or even a simple whiskey sour, these cherries elevate every drink to bar-quality perfection.They’re also amazing for desserts—I’ve used them to top ice cream, cheesecakes, and even pancakes. The jar lasts a long time, as you only need one or two per drink or dessert, making them worth every penny.If you’re serious about cocktails or just love high-quality garnishes, Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are a must-have. Once you try them, you’ll never go back to the cheap stuff!

The original & best. Yes, they are pricey, but they’re worth it. These are what you need for proper cocktails (Aviation, Manhattan, Snowball, etc.). Don’t mess with anything else.

OMG these were the nicest cherries ever. Soooo tasty. But very expensive....so they are for special occasions.

These are probably the best cherries around.I love to make cocktails and these are a must. They are deep coloured red and taste amazing.When you've finished the cherries, keep hold of the jar and juice for later use. The juice is very syrupy and is great poured into procecco or over ice cream or yoghurt. It goes a long way.Once you've tried these you will never again buy those pink looking cherries you see in supermarkets or pubs.

Very nice but the syrup is a bit thick for my personal taste

I heard about these particular cherries whilst looking at drink recipes on youtube and the makers of these videos highly recommended these ones and say that they are much better then the other glade cherries that you would find cheaply at the supermarket and when I purchased them here on Amazon, I can tell that they were not bluffing. These cherries are as real as they can and being preserved in it's own alcoholic liquor, not only does it give a strong and distinctive sweet flavour but it also can last much longer too. It is not as sickly sweet that you would find in all artificially made glade cherries. There are very natural and they will go well providing a flavour boost of any drink that you need it too. You can also have it on it's own as a simple fancy nibble as well. I would advise caution as they can be highly addictive. Only a small amount of alcohol will be on each cherry so depending on how much you use, it could not become an issue. Wonderful item and I would highly suggest adding this item to your regular drink bar supply list. My family tasted this and they as well as myself have enjoyed it vey much. I give much credit to Luxardo and all the drink makers on youtube for providing this.

perfect companion for a good whiskey sour
