LuxardoMaraschino 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.

Perfect for a old fashioned cocktailTaste beautiful, so moreish

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

Crazy price but my wife says these are the most amazing product. Fantastic in a cocktail

Great in cocktails, put a lovely twist into your negroni with a couple of these cherry’s.
