Leopold Bros. Maraschino Liqueur - 750ml

Description

Leopold Bros. Maraschino Liqueur is a Colorado-made cherry liqueur built from fermented and distilled Marasca cherries, then blended with coriander and Montmorency cherry distillate. Sweetened with honey, it delivers tart cherry, mild almond-like pit character, soft spice, and a fuller fruit profile than many drier maraschino liqueurs. It is especially useful in classic cocktails, gin drinks, and cherry-forward variations.

Producer

Leopold Bros. is a family-owned distillery in Denver, Colorado, known for ingredient-driven spirits made with hands-on production methods. The distillery approaches maraschino through a fruit-brandy lens, starting with Marasca cherries from Croatia before adding Montmorency cherry distillate and coriander. Like many Leopold Bros. spirits, the result favors real raw material character over neutral sweetness.

Cocktail Suggestions

Leopold Bros. Maraschino Liqueur is a strong fit for a Last Word with gin, Green Chartreuse, and fresh lime juice. Its tart cherry, honeyed sweetness, and almond-like pit notes give the drink a rounder fruit profile than Luxardo, while the lime and herbal liqueur keep the cocktail sharp and complex.

It also works well in an Aviation with gin, crème de violette, and fresh lemon juice. Leopold’s brighter cherry character softens the floral edge of the violette, while the lemon keeps the drink clean, lifted, and balanced.
