Luxardo Maraschino Cherries 3KG Tin | 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!

These cherries are delicious, succulent and rich dark ruby red in colour, they are sweet without being sickly and with sufficient depth of flavour that they make a complimentary garnish to cocktails. This alone should be enough to justify their purchase, however, the customer service from Luxardo is second to none; When my order arrived smashed from rough handling at the hands of uncouth couriers, I needed only relate my tale of woe and I received a replacement jar. ciliegie deliziose *mwah* (chef kiss)

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!

These are the best maraschino cherries available in my opinion. I use them in drinks and also put them on top of trifles. Well worth the money.
