Filthy maraschino cherries maintain a firmer texture and a milder taste than Luxardo cherries, which are widely praised for their rich, complex flavour profile and soft, almost candied texture. Luxardo creating maraschino cherries are made using Marasca cherries and soaked in Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, giving them a luxurious and decadent taste. In contrast, Filthy cherries undergo a different process, leading to a slightly tamer flavour and firmer texture, which some drinkers find preferable in certain cocktails.
