Curious about those amazing looking Luxardo Cherries you see in food magazines and Instagram? So was I, so I bought a jar. They are indeed yummy and every bit of the jar can be used for a fancy cherry cocktail, perfect Old Fashioned or Manhattan, or you can sneak a little cherry in the middle of the afternoon and feel decadent. I found this cherry cocktail recipe on Pinterest and love it. I love a tart and refreshing cocktail that is not too strong- and this drink is just that.
