With all the excellent cocktail ingredients coming from the Jack Rudy Cocktail Co., it seems obvious they'd come along with a wonderful garnish too! These are made with a combination of cherries from Oregon and bourbon from Kentucky, and they make best friends with bourbon-based cocktails (like a Manhattan, of course).
These are really good value for money if you know how to use them. Best cherries on the market hands down. I use the syrup along with the cherries in cocktails and regularly use them in deserts as well. Just finished mine on the weekend and will be ordering again.
I was introduced to these at the amazing Rosewood Hotel in London - by far the best cocktail cherries to finish off my favourite Manhattan and Old Fashioned cocktails. Sure they are more expensive than Luxardo, but they don't compare - you have to pay for better products people!!
For me, these are my favourite cocktail cherries on the market. I also use Luxardo and while I think they are a great option, I do find them to be much sweeter than these (some might say excessively so). I love the stem on look of the Jack Rudy cherries and wish more of their competitors did the same. I've never had trouble with them going off as one poster mentioned. I keep them refrigerated. The knock on these is the price - they are so expensive compared to compared to other brands.
I usually use Luxardo cherries. I found the flavour of these ones to be very bland by comparison. Also they went mouldy within 3 months in the fridge so most were thrown away.
I wouldn't use any other cherries to decorate a cocktail - these are superb.
