Luxardo Marashino Cherries,400g | Candied Marasca cherries soaked in Luxardo marasca cherry syrup | Use in cocktails or desserts

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 are SO good! Just re-ordered. They are amazing for cocktails - on a completely different level to the nasty fluorescent ones you see in supermarkets or on top of cheap cakes. A cocktail barman passed on a tip to me, so I'll pass it to you. If you drain off about half of the syrup (save it for drizzling over your ice-cream) then backfill the jar with a dark spirit like bourbon, rum or something like that, give it a shake then leave it for a few weeks (that's the hard bit) you will have the best cherries known to man for serving with dark cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans. I suppose, logically, Kirsch might work even better. You're welcome.

I don't think I could ever eat another brand after being introduced to these. Not even sure what's the best way to describe them other than the Rolls Royce of cherries. I kid you not!!!!

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)

amazing quality but pricey!!

These are really tasty and go great in an old fashioned. Just a little pricey for the size of jar

They are very yum yum .

Quality Maraschino cherries are hard to find locally but having purchased this brand previously we were very happy to find them online. They are a bit pricey but well worth the extra.

Zijn echt lekker bij Jack Daniëls 😎

If you've ever wondered what pure, unadulterated luxury tastes like, it’s in the form of a Luxardo cherry. These little gems are nothing short of magical, turning any drink—or dessert—into an experience that feels like an upgrade. The Taste First off, let’s talk about flavor. Luxardo cherries are a sweet, syrupy delight, but they’re not cloying. The deep, rich cherry flavor is balanced with just the right amount of tartness, creating a complexity that’s rare in your average maraschino cherry. They have this almost boozy undertone, thanks to their infusion in cherry liqueur, giving them a grown-up charm that makes every sip feel like an event. The Texture It’s not just about the taste—these cherries also have the perfect texture. Firm yet yielding, they’re the kind of fruit that almost feels like it’s been handpicked just for you. There’s none of that weird mushiness you sometimes get with lesser cherries, just a satisfying pop when you bite in. Versatility Sure, you can throw them into a classic cocktail like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned (and they’ll make your drink look way fancier). But don’t stop there—these cherries are as magical in a sundae, a fruit salad, or even on their own as a sweet treat. The syrup is equally enchanting and can be used in cocktails, drizzled over ice cream, or just spooned straight into your mouth if you're feeling bold. The Experience Opening a jar of Luxardo cherries feels like cracking open a treasure chest—like you’re about to enjoy something rare and special. They elevate everything they touch, turning an ordinary cocktail hour into a celebratory event. Verdict: Luxardo cherries are the culinary equivalent of adding a touch of gold leaf to your life. They're sweet, tangy, and deliciously addictive. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or someone who just appreciates great fruit, these cherries are worth every penny. Five stars—because why settle for ordinary when you can have magic in a jar?

Très bon produit, et personnel soucieux de la livraison. En plus petit cadeau.. Merci Extradry!

Teuer aber super Lecker. Den darin enthaltenen Sirup kann man auch super für Cocktails benutzen. Halten auch ewig im Kühlschrank. Bestimmt schon 2-3 Jahre.

Original Luxardo Maraschino cherries. These are my go-to cherries for cocktails, especially Manhattans. They are rich, flavorful, and sweet without any chemical flavors that sometimes show up in other brands.
