Several months ago, I noticed someone on Facebook extolling the virtues of Luxardo cherries, particularly for cocktails. Innnnteresting, I thought, as my home bartending skills have been burgeoning over the past year, and I do enjoy an Old Fashioned or Manhattan from time to time.
After a bit of research I found Luxardo cherries for $20 as a Williams Sonoma exclusive — they very rarely have free shipping so this means you’re paying another $15 essentially for shipping. Boo… $35 for cherries seems like a lot.
Still, I was ordering some other stuff from WS and I decided to get them — and boy are they better than regular maraschino cherries. No contest for things like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, for sure. We’ve also found this vodka-based cocktail called a Cherry Drop that’s amazing. (Here’s an Epicurious article also singing the praises of Luxardo cherries.)
Still: $35 for cherries, yo. So I went hunting for a more affordable dupe to Luxardo cherries and somehow found these Peninsula Cocktail Cherries.
They’re $11 at Amazon (with free shipping) and, for my money, are essentially the same thing — they’re deep and dark and rich in the same way that Luxardo cherries are. I recommend!
