Luxardo Original Maraschino Cherries
LUXARDO MARASCHINO The Luxardo Maraschino follows the original recipe from 1821, and requires four years to produce. Cherries are harvested from Luxardo’s own trees and the solid components are then infused in larchwood vats for three years. The product is distilled in small copper pot stills and aged in Finnish ash wood for the remaining year. Finally, a combination of sugar and water is added before bottling.
AVAILABLE IN 750ML, 375ML. 32% ABV

LUXARDO CHERRY “ SANGUE MORLACCO" LIQUEUR This is the second product Luxardo created. Produced entirely from Luxardo cherry juice, it rests in oak for nine months to undergo a natural fermentation into a “cherry wine.” It is then fortified, sweetened and bottled. Italian poet/patriot Gabriele d’Annunzio christened this liqueur “Sangue Morlacco” (Morlacco Blood) in honor of the Morlaccos, the fierce warriors of Dalmatia who fought for the Republic of Venice and defended their homeland against the Turks. 30% ABV

“Luxardo’s Maraschino cherries are so popular with serious cocktail drinkers that their name has practically become synonymous with the ingredient.” - The Daily Beast “The gold standard of cocktail cherries elevates any Manhattan.” - GQ Style “I’m a firm believer that Luxardo makes the best cocktail cherry on the surface of the earth, and so naturally, these cherries have been creeping into all sorts of other recipes. Breakfast? Yes please. Ice cream? Hell yes.
Cheese Platters? Bring. It. On.” - The Gastronomista
