Maraschino
Maraschino is a type of liqueur that is made from the Marasca cherry. The liqueur is known for its distinctive sweet flavor and is often used in cocktails and desserts.
History
The Maraschino liqueur originated in the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, where it was first produced by the Dominican monks in the 16th century. The liqueur was initially used for medicinal purposes, but it soon gained popularity as a drink.
In the 18th century, the production of Maraschino liqueur was industrialized by the Luxardo company, which is still one of the leading producers of the liqueur today. The Luxardo company was founded in 1821 in Zara, a city that was part of the Austrian Empire at the time and is now known as Zadar in Croatia.
Production
Maraschino liqueur is made from the Marasca cherry, a type of sour cherry that is native to the Dalmatian Coast. The cherries are harvested, crushed, and then fermented in larch wood vats. After fermentation, the cherry juice is distilled to produce a clear, high-proof spirit. This spirit is then aged in Finnish ash wood vats for two years, after which it is mixed with a sugar syrup and distilled again. The final product is a sweet, clear liqueur with a strong cherry flavor.
Uses
Maraschino liqueur is often used in cocktails, such as the Aviation cocktail and the Hemingway Daiquiri. It is also used in desserts, such as the Black Forest gateau and the Cherry Garcia ice cream flavor by Ben & Jerry's.
