The word maraschino refers to the Marasca cherry and Maraschino liqueur made from it. In the beginning, they were reserved for royalty and the wealthy only. They came to the US in the late 19th century where you could find them in fine bars and restaurants. Today, Maraschino cherries garnish banana splits, Shirley Temple drinks, cakes, pastries, parfaits, milkshakes, ice cream sodas, you name it. Our White Chocolate Covered Cherries coffee flavor can be yours to savor.
