LUXARDO CHERRIES

I’m actually a Bourbon lover, so I think they are perfect for old-fashioned. You can also enjoy plopping them into a strong cocktail.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup of sugar, granulated

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 cup of water

1 pinch of kosher salt

1/4 tsp of nutmeg, ground

1 cup of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

1 lb of pitted and stemmed cherries

HOW TO MAKE LUXARDO CHERRIES

Take water in a saucepan. Add sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in it, and let it simmer. Stir in between to dissolve the sugar properly.

Add cherries and Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur into the mixture. Stir it to coat the cherries completely. Further, cook for 5 minutes to make the cherries a bit tender.

Now turn the flame off and let the cherries cool down. Store these cherries in an airtight container and place them in the fridge.

NOTES

If any of the readers have ever used frozen organic cherries instead of fresh cherries, do let me know if it turned out great. It would be great to use and enjoy the cocktail even if the cherries are not in season or just don’t seem fresh.

Please also keep in mind that you can either use sweet or sour cherries as per your choice or availability of the cherries.
