Luxardo is one of Italy’s most storied distilleries, crafting essential liqueurs that have shaped both classic and contemporary cocktail culture. Family-owned and run for over 200 years, the brand has become a cornerstone of both classic and contemporary cocktail culture. Today, Luxardo remains under the stewardship of the sixth and seventh generations, continuing a legacy built on heritage, independence, and craftsmanship.
From its home in the Veneto region, the Luxardo family cultivates over 30,000 Marasca cherry trees – a proprietary varietal that has become the foundation of the brand’s most famous creations. Guided by values of tradition, quality, and respect for people and the environment, Luxardo has earned its place in cocktail bars and kitchens around the world.
The core Luxardo range reflects this dedication, offering products that elevate every serve – from the garnish that defines an Old Fashioned to the liqueurs that capture the spirit of Italy. Loved by bartenders globally and increasingly discovered by consumers at home, Luxardo’s iconic range continues to inspire creativity behind the bar and beyond.
The Core Range:
Luxardo Marashino Cherries (RRP £8.99)
A bartender’s secret weapon and the original cocktail garnish. Luxardo’s legendary candied Marasca cherries are steeped in their own rich syrup, offering a depth of flavour and indulgence unmatched by the neon imitations. Each jar holds around 65 hand-prepared Marasca cherries – bursting with flavour and sophistication. From the Old Fashioned to the Manhattan, they’re the finishing touch that takes a drink from good to unforgettable, earning their place as a must-have for any bar, professional or at home.
Available from Master of Malt, Amazon, The Whisky Exchange, Booker, Bestway and various wholesalers and Cash & Carrys.
Luxardo Maraschino Originale (RRP £26)
An icon of cocktail culture, Luxardo Maraschino Originale is crafted through a meticulous four-year process. Freshly harvested Marasca cherries are infused in larch-wood vats before being distilled in traditional copper pot stills, then blended with simple syrup to create a crystal-clear liqueur at 32% ABV. The result is smooth yet complex, with aromas of cherry distillate and roasted nuttiness, and flavours of dark chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of orange marmalade. Encased in its signature hand-plaited straw jacket, a nod to Luxardo’s history in Zara, it remains one of the world’s most recognisable liqueurs. From classics such as the Aviation, Martinez, and Last Word, to a simple serve with tonic, lemon, and cucumber, Maraschino Originale continues to inspire bartenders globally while offering elegant versatility at home.
Available from Tesco Market Place, Master of Malt, Amazon, Amathus, Ocado and more.
Luxardo Limoncello (RRP £19)
First crafted over a century ago in 1905, Luxardo Limoncello is still made the traditional way: by steeping the peels, pulp, and juice of southern Italian lemons. The result is a naturally bright, zesty liqueur that captures the easygoing spirit of the Mediterranean. Enjoy it ice-cold straight from the freezer as an after-dinner ritual, or lengthened into a Limoncello Spritz: a key serve showcasing the liqueur’s versatility. However it’s served, Luxardo Limoncello delivers a burst of pure lemon brightness: Italy’s most iconic lemon liqueur and a timeless classic that never goes out of style.
Available from Ocado, Amazon, Master of Malt, Tesco Marketplace, and various wholesalers and Cash & Carrys.
Luxardo Amaretto (RRP £20)
Smooth, complex, and endlessly versatile, Luxardo Amaretto is crafted from the distillation of apricot, peach, and cherry pits with Madagascan vanilla, resulting in velvety almond and vanilla notes balanced by subtle stone fruit. Unlike most Amarettos, Luxardo is nut-free, making it safe for those with allergies while losing none of its indulgent character. Equally at home in a simple long serve with cranberry juice or cola as it is in a classic Amaretto Sour, this liqueur has become a firm favourite in top cocktail bars around the world.
Available from Tesco Marketplace, Master of Malt, Amazon, Ocado, and more.
Whether shaken into a classic or savoured neat, each and every Luxardo product is about elevating the drinking moment in true Italian style. Today, the range can be found in all good cocktail bars across the UK, as well as in the hands of consumers who share the same passion for quality and flavour.
