Luxardo Gourmet Cocktail Maraschino Cherries | for Old Fashioned, Manhattan and Desserts | Packed in Special Protective Bubble, 400G Jar

This was pricy but worth it to me! There's a certain dessert my mom makes, that now I make for my kids. It calls for this type of cherry on top. While my mom used the toxic crap from the store (because we didn't know better), I use these. They have the same flavor as the toxic bright red ones, but they also taste better! At least we think so.

These cherries are perfect for Old Fashions and any other cocktail. Packed in thick syrup.

After years of settling for those electric red cherries that many of us mistakenly call "maraschino," trying Luxardo's Gourmet Cocktail Maraschino Cherries was an eye-opening experience. At first, their unique flavor and texture were so different from what I was used to that they almost tasted weird. It's definitely an acquired taste, but just give it a chance—after the first two or three cherries, you'll understand the hype.Now that I’m accustomed to them, I can't imagine going back to the regular ones. I exclusively use these cherries in my Manhattan cocktails, where their complex flavor profile truly shines. They add a depth and richness that the ordinary maraschino cherries just can’t match.While I'm a devoted fan of the Luxardo cherries, I’m also curious to try the Amarena variety to see how they compare. If you're serious about your cocktails, give these Luxardo cherries a try— they might just change your mixology game forever.

As always, this is a high quality product and perfect in my bourbon cocktails

These are the best maraschino cherries, hands down. I never buy anything else. Have you noticed that everyone writing reviews here are comparing what they bought to Luxardo? THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.I'm generally a cheapskate, and rarely buy the "luxury brands." But if you want the best, you have to pay for it. In this case, I decided that I deserve it. You probably deserve it, too.

This is the only brand of cherries I purchase, the price is competitive with the stores I can purchase them at and if I am ordering from Amazon I buy them here. The taste is wonderful and in your cocktails it leaves final note.

Best Marachino Cherries I've ever tasted. Very pricey, however.

Delicious and pricey; especially considering this jar contains 50% Syrup (this is clearly marked on the label).
