Maraschino cherries are a popular garnish for cocktails, adding a sweet and colorful touch to your drink. But have you ever wondered where these delicious cherries come from? The history of the Maraschino cherry dates back to the 16th century in Croatia, where they were first made using marasca cherries preserved in maraschino liqueur.
The process of making Maraschino cherries involves soaking the cherries in a brine solution before preserving them in sugar syrup and maraschino liqueur. This gives the cherries their distinctive flavor and bright red color. Originally enjoyed as a delicacy by European royalty, Maraschino cherries became more widely available in the 19th century when they were exported to America.
Today, Maraschino cherries are commonly used as a garnish for cocktails like Manhattans, Shirley Temples, and Old Fashioneds. They add a pop of color and sweetness to drinks while also enhancing their flavor. Whether you're enjoying a classic cocktail or experimenting with new recipes, Maraschino cherries are sure to elevate your drinking experience.
Next time you sip on a cocktail garnished with these delightful fruits, take a moment to appreciate the centuries-old tradition behind each bite. Cheers!
