Details
This classic liqueur is made with Luxardo marasca cherries that are infused in alcohol for 3 years before being distilled and matured in ash-wood vats. The liqueur has been an invaluable cocktail ingredient ever since it was first available in 1821.
Luxardo is a family-owned company founded in Zara, a port city on the Dalmatian coast of what is now Croatia. Girolamo Luxardo, a Genovese businessman, and his wife, Maria Canevari, moved to Zara in 1817 and founded the Luxardo Distillery in 1821 to produce the original Maraschino liqueur.
Perfect in an Aviation cocktail.
