Are cocktail cherries and maraschino cherries the same thing?

You'll find that cocktail cherries can be found by many different names: brandied cherries, amarena cherries, and in some cases still maraschino cherries (but, more often than not, those are the traditional bright red variety.)

What can I use instead of luxardo?

My advice, and this probably won't be popular among my fellow spiritsnobs, (but I also live in an area where it is hard to obtain real luxardo) is to take any 2 cups of regular Maraschino juice, add 1/2 cup of Cointreau, 1/2 cup of Campari and 1/4 of Brandy and throw it in a pot.

Should I refrigerate cocktail cherries?

The Bar Cart Staples You Should Be Refrigerating but Probably Aren't. ... Brandied cherries: While true maraschino cherries, like Luxardo, should be stored in a cool, dark place like a cupboard, as their syrup will crystallize if refrigerated, brandied cherries last longer in the fridge; toss them if they become moldy.

Is there embalming fluid in maraschino cherries?

Or, as I like to call it, food-grade embalming fluid. ... The type of food coloring most often used in making maraschino cherries is something called FD&C Red No. 40 (a chemical colorant banned in several other countries as a possible carcinogen).

Do you have to refrigerate grenadine?

The precise answer depends to a large extent on storage conditions — keep opened grenadine refrigerated and tightly closed. ... Grenadine that has been continuously refrigerated will keep at best quality for about 4 to 6 months after opening.

Is there a difference between grenadine and grenadine syrup?

Grenadine is cloyingly sweet. So be careful about the amount you drop in cocktails or desserts. Grenadine syrup is prepared by reducing a blend of pomegranate juice and sugar till it gains a syrupy thick consistency.
