Maraschino Liqueur
Clear cherry liqueur distilled from marasca cherries and their pits, dry rather than candied. A quarter ounce adds floral, faintly funky depth to classic sours.

The story
Origin and evolution
Dalmatian distillers turned marasca cherries into a clear, dry liqueur centuries ago.
Italian producers spread the style through the nineteenth century.
Golden-age recipes like the Hemingway Daiquiri and Martinez depend on it.
