  1. I've never heard of maraschino liqueur but I totally want some. Is it really like, alcohol? Or just the stuff from around the cherries? I love that flavor - lots of people things its gross.. but I love it. So what do you think?

  3. Yep, just the juice from the cherries made into likker, Crazy mom! I'm a vodka girl myself. If I make this drink with vodka, I would call it a "Sully".

  7. I love these, Heidi. I started drinking them in the fall and became addicted. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur is not that hard to find! And worth the little extra money. Maraska is cheaper but also tastes it.
    Yumm!
