Woodford Luxardo Old Fashioned Cocktail Combo — Marasca Cherries & Old Fashioned Syrup, Ready-to-Serve

Ready-to-serve cocktail duo: Luxardo marasca cherries paired with Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned syrup for bar-quality Old Fashioneds at home.

Bring two premium cocktail ingredients together in one bundle — the classic Luxardo maraschino cherries made from authentic marasca fruit, and Woodford Reserve’s Old Fashioned syrup that blends barrel-aged bitters, cherry and orange aromatics with gentle sweetness. Both items are designed to simplify cocktail making while preserving the flavor complexity bartenders expect. Use them to garnish and sweeten stirred cocktails, elevate desserts, or add finishing touches to craft mocktails and baking recipes.

How do these Luxardo cherries improve an Old Fashioned?

Luxardo cherries are candied sour marasca cherries steeped in rich cherry syrup, which adds real fruit depth and a sustained sweetness that ordinary cocktail cherries lack. Their firm texture holds up in stirred drinks and the syrup layers additional cherry flavor into the drink without watering it down.

• Made from marasca cherries grown in Veneto, Italy for authentic flavor
• Firm, candy-like flesh that keeps shape in ice and cocktails
• Thick, flavorful syrup to spoon into drinks or use as a sweetener

What does Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned syrup bring to the drink?

Woodford’s syrup captures the aromatic profile of an Old Fashioned by combining barrel-aged bitter notes with cherry and orange essence and balanced sweetness. It replaces the need for measuring multiple small ingredients, giving a consistent, bartender-style base for mixing.

• Blends bitters, cherry and orange aromatics for a classic flavor
• Pre-mixed sweetness and aromatics for faster cocktail prep
• Pairs particularly well with bourbon, rye, or non-alcoholic bases

Can these items be used beyond classic cocktails?

Yes — both components are versatile culinary tools. Use Luxardo cherries and syrup on ice cream, in baked goods, or as a finishing syrup; use the Old Fashioned syrup in non-alcoholic beverages, glazes, or to flavor coffee and desserts for a cocktail-inspired twist.

• Top sundaes or cheesecakes with whole cherries and spooned syrup
• Fold chopped cherries into batters or fillings for pastries
• Stir syrup into sodas, teas, or mocktails for cocktail-like complexity

How should I store and serve the combo for best results?

Keep unopened jars and bottles in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness and texture. When serving, add the syrup to the glass first, muddle or stir with bitters and spirit of choice, then finish with one or two whole Luxardo cherries and a twist of citrus peel.

• Refrigerate after opening to maintain syrup quality and cherry texture
• Add syrup before ice to help dissolve flavors evenly
• Garnish with whole Luxardo cherries for visual and flavor impact

Who is this for: This combo is aimed at home bartenders and hospitality pros who want reliable, premium ingredients to craft restaurant-quality Old Fashioneds quickly. It also suits bakers and dessert lovers seeking an upscale cherry topping and anyone wanting to add refined cocktail flavors to non-alcoholic drinks and culinary creations.
