- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI bought these cherries for my husband as he is an avid bourbon drinker. He loves to make manhattans and old fashioned's. I bought these as a "treat" for him since he had always purchased your run of the mill maraschino cherries prior. After buying these cherries, I don't think he'll be going back to the grocery store version. Yes, they are pricey but the jar is large, heavy duty and it is FILLED with cherries and cherry syrup. My husband was even impressed with the jar. He said it was so fancy, it looked like it could be an urn!!! The cherries are delicious. The seller also packaged them very well - they were wrapped in bubble wrap and packing tape when I received them. Absolutely no issues and they shipped faster than expected! They definitely have a sweet front and a tart finish. They really up the ante in his drinks. I think we'll be buying these again!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseLong-time Luxardo lovers, we tried these on a lark and find that while they are a bit less dense and complex, we prefer the Amarena Toschi cherries for drinks. They have a firmer texture and the slightly less intense taste makes them more compatible with a broader variety of cocktails. For people who really like the deep velvet Luxardo taste, these may not fit the bill. That said, they are recommended as a worthy alternative to the firmer, more watery American style maraschinos (to say nothing of the candy-sweet variety that reminds me of the Shirley Temples I got as a kid).
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseOrdered to be able to use in my old fashion… this leveled up my drink
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseFantastic tasting dark cherries. They are fantastic for bourbon old fashions. The dark cherry syrup that are shipped in is equally fantastic and great tasting. Will buy again and recommend to others.

HomeBarberReviewed in Canada on March 1, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Great cherries, but ..
Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThe red label of this brand is sweeter and more candied than the blue label, but super delicious. Definitely recommended as a cocktail cherry, especially for an old fashioned.
BUT. Some opportunistic companies have been buying the available stock up and re-selling on this site at double or triple the normal price. I noticed this around the last holiday season. All of a sudden my regular supplier didn't have any available, and new companies were selling them at exorbitant prices.
Michellemama86Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and amazing in old fashioned drinks!
Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThese cherries are the best!! I use them in old fashioneds and they go very nicely. They taste like cherry blasters without the sourness. The jar is completely full and even the juice/syrup that it comes in is delicious! Second time getting them! I will never use another cherry again

Holly C.Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Best Maraschino Cherries
Size: 1.11 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThese are the best maraschino cherries I have eaten. They are the best quality product from Italy. If you like natural non GMO fruit and don't want to consume tartazine chemical, this is the best to buy. The flavor and the plumpness of the cherries are rich and satisfying on the taste buds. It is worth every dollar.
