{"product_id":"luxardo-maraschino-liqueur","title":"Luxardo - Maraschino Liqueur","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistilled from the sour, acidic Marasca cherry according to Girolamo Luxardo's original 1821 recipe, this crystal-clear Italian liqueur derives its character from long botanical maceration rather than standard fruit flavoring syrups. Whole cherries-alongside crushed pits, branches, and leaves-macerate in neutral spirit inside larch-wood vats for up to three years before undergoing traditional copper pot distillation. Maturation in neutral Finnish ash-wood vats allows the volatile spirit cuts to integrate without leeching amber wood tannins, maintaining a clear appearance, dry cherry stone grip, and an assertive 32% ABV backbone. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\n\r\nPalate weight is viscous yet cut by a distinctly sharp, dry, spiritous edge that counters the residual sugar. Bitter almond, dark cacao nibs, and orange marmalade emerge across the mid-palate, finishing with an earthy cherry-pit astringency that cleanses the tongue. In-house testing at USQ showed that this dry-stone intensity acts as a powerful structural modifier rather than a cloying sweetener in classic bar builds. For a textbook Last Word, our team recommends shaking equal parts: 0.75 oz dry gin, 0.75 oz Green Chartreuse, 0.75 oz Luxardo Maraschino, and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice over ice, double-straining into a chilled coupe. In an Aviation, a mere 0.5 oz anchors 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz lemon juice, and 0.25 oz crème de violette with essential tartness. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Girolamo Luxardo S.p.A.","offers":[{"title":"750ML","offer_id":54456283365740,"sku":"31598","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"375ML","offer_id":54456283627884,"sku":"672706","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/LuxardoMarschinoBottle1080.jpg?v=1789945107","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/luxardo-maraschino-liqueur","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
