The garnish that customers recognise

Maraschino cherries are prepared from brined, pitted sweet cherries, macerated in flavoured sugar syrup and dyed. The most common colour is red, and red maraschino cherries are almond flavoured. Green is almost as common and carries a mint flavour.

They are important ingredients in many cocktails. As a garnish they decorate baked ham, pastry, parfaits, ice cream, sundaes and ice cream sodas.

  • Six colours: red, yellow, green, orange, blue and purple
  • With stem or without stem
  • Brix from 20 to 50 to match your application
  • Almond flavour for red, mint flavour for green
