Product details
Produced at the old Luxardo distillery in Zadar, this maraschino liqueur has quite distinct cherry notes with hints of almond, slightly sweeter with a more cherry forward flavor profile than the pronouncedly dry Luxardo version.

Loved it instantly with first taste. I prefer Maraska Maraschino cherry liquer much more than the popular Luxardo's version. It has a more genuine cherry forward taste. I use this for cocktails such as Last Word, Hemingway Daiquiri, Martinez, and Red Hook.
I have Maraska, Luxardo and Leopold Bros at home. This is the best balanced for most cocktails, and pairs well with green Chartreuse (i.e. Last Word, Last Ward, Last Palabra...). Luxardo is somewhat "tutti-frutti," and a little too much can ruin a cocktail. Leopold Bros. works well with cocktails. It's very good, but it is a different animal from the other two.
We have always preferred this brand to Luxardo but it has been unavailable for a long time. We like to use it to make a fruit salad, and it's sweeter, more cherry-like taste is perfect for this purpose.
