Lazzaroni Maraschino 750ml

I've been using this cherry liqueur in my homemade cocktails and the flavor is spot-on—clean and not syrupy sweet like most others. The bottle is generous for the price, and a little goes a long way in a sour or spritz.

I've tried cheaper cherry liqueurs before, but this one is something else entirely, the Dalmatian marasca cherries give it a clean, almost floral depth. It's dangerously smooth on its own over ice, and it made the best Aviation I've mixed at home. A bottle this good won't last long in my cabinet.

Nice to have a bottle for cocktails that's not just another sweet syrup—the Dalmatian cherry flavor comes through clean and subtle. It mixes well in a Hemingway daiquiri, though I wish the proof was just a touch higher for the price.
