Caffo Maraschino Liqueur

Caffo Maraschino is a traditional maraschino cherry liqueur produced by Caffo Distilleria Friulia in Udine, Italy. An indispensable pantry item for any maker of classic cocktails, Caffo’s Maraschino speaks to the true nature of the Marasca cherry from which this liqueur is made. Dark, ripe, and juicy fruit are at the fore rather than the overly floral, marzipan qualities found in other brands within the category. The cherry notes on the nose are rich and warm, with notes of violet and shortbread. The palate is robust and surprisingly bright, capturing the entirety of the Marasca cherry profile—sweet, tart, and mildly astringent.
