LuxardoMaraschinoOriginale(700mL)

<p>The iconic, original Maraschino Liqueur that’s indispensable to authentic cocktails. </p><p><em>Luxardo</em> is a small producer in Northeastern Italy, near Venice and just west of Padua. But in our opinion, it is also <em>one of the most influential and important companies </em>in the Spirits business. Without their contributions, the world of cocktails just wouldn’t be the same. From <em>specialty Liqueurs and Bitters </em>to the famous <em>Original Gourmet Maraschino Cherry</em> that is heads and tales above the dyed candy drops served in common bars. The company was founded in <em>1821</em> by family patriarch <em>Girolamo Luxardo </em>and the company is still run by family members unto the<em> seventh generation</em>.</p><p><em>Luxardo Maraschino Originale</em> is one of THE indispensable components of a well-stocked bar. There simply is no substitute. Other Cherry Liqueurs are just cherry flavoring in cheap alcohol. Luxardo Maraschino is an <em>iconic force of cocktail mastery</em>. It is the distilled essence of the entire Marasca cherry — fruit, skin, pit, leaves, and branches. Originally designed as a delicious Aperitif, this Liqueur at <em>32% </em>ABV has become <em>essential to dozens of classic cocktails</em>, transforming them from bottom-shelf specials to high-end bespoke masterpieces.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>The Marasca cherry is a deep, dark red fruit with a firm, drier flesh and sweet-bitter taste. It is native to Dalmatia, Croatia, and Northeastern Italy with the largest crop growing in Croatia. It has not been successfully grown any place else.</em></p>
