Maraschino Liqueur
Cocktails with maraschino
A cocktail maraschino bottle is Luxardo-style liqueur, not the red cherries: Last Word, Aviation, Hemingway Daiquiri, Hemingway Special, and Brandy Crusta.
Cocktails with maraschino in this catalog want the clear, dry cherry distillate (often Luxardo), not cocktail cherries and not grenadine. Gin plus lime and green Chartreuse is the Last Word; gin, lemon, and crème de violette is an Aviation. White rum, lime, grapefruit, and maraschino is a Hemingway Daiquiri (the Hemingway Special is the same bottles without the extra grapefruit emphasis). Cognac drinkers shake a Brandy Crusta. A cocktail maraschino pour is a few teaspoons; one bottle covers the list.

Maraschino Liqueur cocktail FAQ
What cocktails can I make with maraschino liqueur?
Last Word, Aviation, Hemingway Daiquiri, Hemingway Special, and Brandy Crusta. All five recipes name maraschino liqueur. Cherries in the garnish tray do not mark these ready.
Is cocktail maraschino the same as cherry juice or grenadine?
No. Cocktail maraschino is a distilled liqueur. Grenadine is pomegranate syrup; cocktail cherries are a garnish. Keep maraschino as its own pantry bottle if you want Last Word or Aviation.
