Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin

750ml & 75 Proof

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin is a Gin from the Luxardo brand hailing from Italy.

What is Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin?

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin blends the classic juniper-forward profile of London Dry gin with the rich, tart flavor of Luxardo's famed Marasca cherries, creating a unique spirit that's both familiar and exotic. Interestingly, this gin is made using the same cherries that go into Luxardo's iconic Maraschino liqueur, which have been cultivated by the Luxardo family on their own orchards in Italy since 1905.

Why do we love Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin?

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin stands out by infusing their classic London Dry Gin with Luxardo's famed Marasca cherry juice, creating a ruby-hued spirit with a perfect balance of juniper and tart cherry flavors. This unique gin offers cocktail enthusiasts a shortcut to crafting cherry-forward drinks like the Aviation or Martinez, while still maintaining enough traditional gin character to shine in a G&T or Negroni.

How do you drink Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin?

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin shines in spirit-forward cocktails that let its unique cherry and juniper flavors take center stage, though it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice for those who appreciate its complexity. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing wonderfully with grilled meats, charcuterie boards, or dark chocolate desserts that complement its fruity and herbaceous notes.

Nose: Juniper leads, followed by bright cherry and almond notes. Subtle hints of coriander and angelica root add complexity. A touch of vanilla sweetness rounds out the aroma.

Palate: Dry gin character upfront with piney juniper. Tart cherry flavors emerge, reminiscent of fresh sour cherries. Nutty almond paste and a whisper of cinnamon spice complement the fruit. Well-balanced sweetness keeps it from being overly sour.

Finish: Medium-long finish. Cherry lingers pleasantly with a slight tartness. Gin botanicals reassert themselves, leaving a clean, crisp sensation. Faint almond and vanilla notes add depth as it fades.

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin is crafted by infusing their traditional London Dry Gin with Marasca cherry juice, the same cherries used in their famous liqueur. This unique process imparts a subtle pink hue and a delightful balance of juniper and tart cherry flavors, creating a gin that's both familiar and refreshingly different.

  • Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin isn't just flavored with cherries after distillation - it's actually made by macerating their signature Marasca cherries directly in the gin for an entire week, infusing it with a deep, natural cherry essence.
  • The striking red color of Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin comes exclusively from the cherries themselves - no artificial coloring is used. This makes it one of the few naturally red gins on the market.
  • While most flavored gins lose some of their juniper character, Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin maintains a robust 37.5% ABV and a prominent juniper backbone, allowing it to shine in classic gin cocktails with an added cherry twist.
  • Main Ingredient: Sour Cherries
