Luxardo Maraschino Originale Liqueur
Maraschino Liqueur | 32% ABV (64 Proof) | 375mL | Italy
Process & Profile
Luxardo Maraschino Originale Liqueur is an iconic Italian liqueur produced by the Luxardo family, whose recipe dates back to 1821. It is crafted from Marasca cherries, including the distillate of the cherries, crushed pits, leaves, and stems—an approach that gives the liqueur its distinctive dry, nutty character rather than overt sweetness.
After distillation, the spirit is aged in large ashwood vats, a traditional method that preserves clarity while allowing flavors to integrate and soften. The result is a clear, aromatic liqueur known for its balance of floral cherry notes, subtle almond bitterness, and refined structure, making it a cornerstone ingredient in classic cocktail culture.
