A distillate of cherry, history, and unshakable legacy. The soul of the classic cocktail canon.
The Bartender's Beacon
Clear as glass but layered as folklore, Luxardo Maraschino is not a sugary cherry syrup. It is a complex, nutty, floral spirit with a story as deep as its flavor. The nose is aromatic and slightly funky, with toasted almond, violet, and bitter cherry pit. The palate is clean, structured, and never cloying.
Luxardo’s Marasca cherries are macerated whole—pits, skins, and stems included—which gives the liqueur its signature complexity. The iconic straw-wrapped bottle was originally for protection during ocean voyages; now, it’s a beacon for bartenders.
How to Enjoy
An essential, non-negotiable ingredient for classic cocktails like the Aviation, the Last Word, the Martinez, and the Hemingway Daiquiri.
