Luxardo

Luxardo products are staples in bars for cocktails like the Manhattan and the Aviation, and they also show up in kitchens and bakeries. The brand’s mix of heritage and intense flavor makes it a go-to for anyone who wants to add a clear, high-quality fruit note to a drink.

Notable Bottles From Luxardo

1. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur 

Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur liqueur is made from Marasca cherries and has a complex, slightly bitter cherry kernel note. It’s not the sweet, syrupy cherry flavor many expect; instead it brings almond-like depth and bright fruit. A little goes a long way in cocktails like the Aviation or Last Word. It’s a bartending essential for adding real cherry character without cloying sweetness.

2. Luxardo Maraschino Cherries 

Luxardo Maraschino Cherries preserved in Luxardo’s own syrup. They are deep, tart, and richly flavored. They’re the classic garnish for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan and also great on desserts. The cherries taste like real fruit, not candy, and they elevate a simple drink instantly. Keep a jar on hand for quick cherry-fying. 

3. Luxardo Amaretto 

Luxardo’s amaretto leans into almond and stone-fruit notes with a smooth, sweet finish. It’s versatile in cocktails, coffee, and baking, adding warm nutty flavor without overwhelming. The balance of sweetness and bitterness makes it useful both as a mixer and a sipping liqueur. It’s a friendly way to add dessert-like flavor to drinks.

Awards and Recognition

Luxardo is a historical name. Having been around for so long, it's received pretty unique accolades. One such example is that the Emperor of Austria awarded the distillery the highest honor called the "Privilegiata Fabbrica Maraschino Excelsior". What it is is an acknowledgement certifying that Luxardo’s original Maraschino Liqueur is of superior quality!
