It’s cherry time around here, which means a busy day. We drove the 90 minutes with construction traffic to the orchard and came home with a lovely haul of bing and sour cherries.
The sour cherries were turned into Luxardo cocktail cherries plus a pint of sour cherry juice and the bing cherries went into a pie. Yay, pie!
Manhattan or Hemingway Daiquiri, anyone?

So I have tended bar and worked as a server in a few high end places and I’ve never heard of Luxardo cherries. Searched all about them and learned a little today. A German chemist who worked for Bayer would order Manhattans sans the Maraschino cherry saying that red dye would be in your system years! He would have appreciated Luxardo brand.

They’re wonderful! Sour cherries, lemon, cinnamon, a hint of nutmeg and maraschino liqueur.
