Tasting Notes: The Luxardo Maraschino Originale has a bouquet with bitter black cherry fruit that is wonderfully balanced. The color is clear. The palate is sweet and resonates with tastes of cherry compote and cherry preserves. The finish is slightly syrupy and downright delicious. Perfect in an Aviation Cocktail:
Aviation Cocktail:
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur
1/4 ounce crème de violette
3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Garnish: brandied cherry
Stir ingredients well over ice and strain
