message: I'm fine with a merge between Maraschino and Marasca cherry, since A is made from B and B is best known for A. I still oppose a merger of either of these articles with Maraschino cherry. Melchoir 21:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Giovanni Giove, whatever problem or hatred you have for Croatia, leave it out of Wikipedia. You first refused to even allow Croatia to be mentioned, you wanted it to Dalmatia, then after you realized you would never win that fight, you tried a number of different ways to twist the words around to make Zadar look as if it did not belong in Croatia. 
Now, let me tell you this in plain English--the STANDARD way for listing cities is with the country it belongs to following it. If everyone followed your way of doing it, we would have to constantly be putting things like,, Gospic, Lika, in Croatia; Osijek, Slavonia, in Croatia; Makarska, Dalmatia, in Croatia, which is silly, and explains why no one does it. We know Dalmatia is in Croatia and that Zadar is in Dalmatia. What is your insistence at constantly trying to squash Croatia's rights to articles?  --Jesuislafete 16:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: blahblahblah. Stop with your personal attacks and geniric accuses. My interset for Croatia is neraly zero. Try to show that my edits are wrong, if you can. In the present my edits are perfect. Maraschino is a regional product of Dalmatia, and not of Croatia in general. I can not see any track of evil italian irridentism in this fact.--Giovanni Giove 20:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ah, got you there! we are talking about country products that come from regions, yet then, why did you remove Croatia in the earliest edits (the very first--you took Croatia out completely and put in Dalmatia). i like your edit now, Dalmatian city of Zadar in Croatia, so it looks good. i wonder whether i'll have to go back and take out all Croatian references and add the regions like Dalmatia, Slavonia, Lika, Zagorje, etc when talking about anything from Croatia, since according your edits, that is more important (no don't answer, i am being sarcastic). and if you choose to take anything as a personal attack, that is your problem--i couldn't care less because i have not attacked you in anyway. and if that is the best you can come up with, then good luck in life, mate. --Jesuislafete 01:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unfair and unnecessary 

message: From the descriptions of Rosolio that I can dig up (Hahnemann: Likörfabrikant (1785), Gaber: Liqueur-Fabrikation (1899),  and several sources found on Google Books), the only thing they seem to have in common is the absence of any kind of cherry.  Hahnemann gives two recepies by Demachy and Dejean (both with roses -- damascene rose is mentioned, jasmin, bitter orange flowers as main ingredients), and Gaber gives no flowers at all (nor cherries). 
One source (Saintsbury: Notes on a Cellar-Book) does indicate that there is a plant 'ros solis', though the author claims that it was not an ingredient; other sources state it was (an account on destillation in Danzig), and that honey was another important ingredient. Finally, Bode (in Wines of Italy) describes Rosolio as attar of roses (i.e. rose oil; see wiki article) mixed with brandy and with honey as sweetener, and that from that this basic mixture several other were developed, retaining the name of rosolio, but containing less and less rose attar. There are also indications that the term may have become a synonym for liqueur in general: a catalogue from the Dublin international exhibition in 1865 mentions 'Rosolios of the following kinds: --- Bitter Almonds. --- Anisette. --- Alkhermes. --- Cedro. --- Coffee. --- Juniper. [...]'. There's is also an account to establish the medical properties of camphor in which a test subject took some camphor dissolved in 'rosolio a la canelle' (which I take to be made from cinnamon).
Thus, I would suggest that applying the term Rosolio to Maraschino, while not strictly incorrect, is misleading, as the term does not appears to apply only to Maraschino.

message: Sorry Croatian guys, but this liquor was invented under the Venice empire.. Then, I would like to sugest it's origin is italian, and not croatian.. Moreover, it is called Maraschino and not Maraskino.. Atcold (talk) 14:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nationality 

message: Here we make confusion between two things.
1. Zadar has never been - except a small period of 25 years - in Italy. This is a fact.
2. On the other hand, for over 1000 years a significat italian minority had been leaving in Dalmatia, including in Zadar.
I don't know (indeed I think I do, but this is not the place to get into my opininions) why the Croatian storiography is so keen in removing / reducing / changing what is a fact of the history: the historical italian presence. It is also true that at least during the last 300 years this community had been a minority, but with a signficant influence in the arts, the culture and the industry. 
It is also a fact that Maraschino was a trademark owned by the Luxardo family, indeed after a legal case the Yugoslavian (now Croatian) factory was forced to change the name from Maraschino to Maraska.
I have added a minor modification to the page, because I think it's worth to say that the Luxardo family was killed by the retaliation of the Tito troops and not by the aerial bombings (this is what the previous version was suggesting). This is also a fact that can be checked easily on the website of Luxardo (that I did not want to include to avoid advertisement to this company).

message: To add to article: why is the liqueur clear rather than red, if it is made from red cherries? 173.88.241.33 (talk) 03:16, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Like any distilled spirit, it is colorless when it is distilled. Any color is added after distillation. If the distillers don't add coloring to it then it will be clear. It should say that in the article for liquor or distillation. Do we need to mention it here? -- Doctorx0079 (talk) 03:31, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: To add to article

message: My word, there's a lot of purple prose in this article. I found it hard to get to things like how it's made and how it's used, because I had to battle through content-free paeans to the guy that supposedly invented it.
I have no specific suggestions for improvement, other than (a) shorten the lede, (b) put some more key facts in the lede (like, maybe, a description of the product); and don't make this article any longer. Please. MrDemeanour (talk) 19:49, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
