luxardoLuxardo The Original Maraschino Cherries | Gourmet Italian Maraschino Cherries | Ideal for Cocktails and Desserts, 400g Jar

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 TasteFirst 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 TextureIt’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.VersatilitySure, 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 ExperienceOpening 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?

I, apparently, don’t have the palate for the real thing. Extremely sweet. The juice is thick and while wonderful tasting just a drop fulfilled my sugar craving. I bought them after reading an article on how these were the real deal and the ones you buy at a grocery store did not compare. Well, I ate three of them and man the sugar overload hit my head. Not what I was expecting. I’m used to eating numerous cherries out of the jar to satisfy my sweet craving. Not these. No doubt these would be wonderful for other uses (than eating straight from the jar) and I’m certain they are very tasty put in drinks, Gave it a five star because I’m certain they are quality and are exactly as they should be. They are not responsible if my palate is not refined enough to enjoy these. lol

Great Manhattan's can only be made with the proper ingredients. These cherries are classier (and probably healthier) than the "candy apple red" colored cherries I grew up with. Try these and you'll never go back.

These are outstanding! Delicious, just the right amount of sweetness, fruitiness, and slight tartness, but never loosing that real cherry flavour! These really step up any Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Tom Collins they are added to! If you love your cocktails and have an eye for quality, you owe it to yourself to buy a jar of these!

Great flavor and texture in a cocktail. No glow-in the dark super sweet cherry here. The syrup is nice as a slight touch in a manhattan, etc. Yes, they are pricey--but at one a drink they are well worth it.

The absolute best cocktail cherry! You will never be satisfied with a maraschino cherry after tasting these. Pricey but worth it. Shipped fast and in a nice protective bubble sleeve.

I have had a few mishaps when ordering glass items in the past so I had concerns when it arrived in a thick envelope. This product was well packaged though with the jar looking suspended in a thick plastic “bubble dome”. Perfectly intact. I gave it as a gift and recipient said it tasted great.

These cherries are perfect for an Old Fashioned—sweet, juicy, and with just the right texture. However, I never got mine in one piece. They were broken in shipping, which was disappointing. Hopefully, the shipping process can be improved, as they would’ve been fantastic if they had arrived intact!
