The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Maraska Maraschino Cherries come from the Zadar region on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, where the Marasca cherry — the source of both the fruit's name and its distinctive flavor — is said to reach its finest character. These cherries are preserved with a deep, dark color and a rich, syrupy sweetness that's closer to the fruit's natural profile than the bright-red cherries typically found on grocery shelves. The aroma is fruity and slightly tart, the palate is sweet with real cherry depth, and the finish is syrupy and lingering.
Use them as a garnish for an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Shirley Temple, or spoon a bit of the syrup into a cocktail for extra sweetness and color. They're also delicious over ice cream or baked into desserts. A jar of authentic Marasca cherries is a small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference in classic cocktails.
