The essential historic cocktail modifier with complex cherry wood depth
This legendary Italian liqueur is distilled from the leaves, seeds, stems, and skins of sour Marasca cherries, resulting in a complex and clear spirit. It offers a unique profile dominated by deep cherry pit woodiness, subtle almond-like nuttiness, and a refined, sweet yet dry finish.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until chilled, and strain into a coupe glass.
Serve in a coupe
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
Founded in 1821 by Girolamo Luxardo in Zara, Dalmatia, the brand was built on the popularity of his wife Maria's homemade Maraschino liqueur. After the devastation of World War II, the Luxardo family relocated the distillery to Torreglia in northeastern Italy, where they replanted their cherry orchards and continued their historic legacy.
Distilled in copper pot stills from the sour Marasca cherries grown on the family estates, this clear liqueur undergoes a two-year maturation process in ash wood vats. This wood aging infuses the spirit with its distinctive forest-floor and woody depth without imparting color.
