Luxardo Sangue Morlacco Cherry Liqueur (750ml)
- In stock
Luxardo's classic Italian cherry liqueur, Sangue Morlacco, starts with Luxardo cherry juice that rests nine months in oak for a natural cherry-wine fermentation, and is then fortified and sweetened. The poet Gabriele D'Annunzio renamed it in 1919, and the Luxardo distillery has produced it continuously since 1821.
Mood: dark cherry, oak, old-world.
The cherry liqueur bartenders reach for when Kirsch is too dry and Cherry Heering is too sweet. Neat over ice, or the secret weapon in a Manhattan Perfect.
Tasting Notes
The nose shows deep dark cherry and dried plum, with a whisper of almond and vanilla oak. Rich and softly sweet on the palate, it sets sour-cherry compote against a warm spirit backbone. The finish is long and warming, and chocolate cherry and light bitter-almond linger.
Food Pairing
Use it as a dessert liqueur or a cocktail base. Pour it over vanilla ice cream, splash it into hot black coffee, or take it as a l'chaim shot after a heavy meal. It is also the classic float on a Manhattan or Aviation cocktail, and it is wonderful with dark chocolate.
