A larger than usual bottling of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur so grab your Hemingway Daiquiris and get those fruit salads ready. Packed with Mascara cherries and hints of almond, butter and sweeties, this Italian liqueur comes wrapped in its unmistakable straw jacket.
Don't listen to the (one) naysayer. This product is top drawer. It's got a weird taste for sure, but actually it's excellence is to be found in the versatility it has across many, many cocktails. It adds a certain something that really brings out the flavour in your drink. To be fair I didn't lie it when I first tried it but have since realised that it's quite genius in its application.
I buy the Luxardo maraschino cherries for cocktails and they are wonderful. But this is really dreadful stuff. It is like sweetened, diluted cheap kirsch. I quite literally poured it down the drain. I have a lot of random liquers, aperitifs etc. I can be creative with them. Not this. It is vile stuff.
I've tried various other brands. Briottet is blend; Giffard is alright. This is fantastic. Don't worry about the extra cost. It will transform cocktails like Martinez, Last Word, Royal Cocktail, Beachcomber, etc.
Beautifully balanced cherry liqueur
