Best cherries ever, NOT for snacking!
These things are amazing! I use them to make Manhattans at home, and they are a MAJOR step up from the normal maraschino cherries.
The only issue is that they are a lil expensive! Or so says my wife... before I bought these, I caught my wife stealing my Rye soaked maraschinos from my drink! I calmly explained that that was a NO-NO! So she asked whenever I made a drink that I throw a few extra in. No problem love! I would also catch her snacking on the maraschino cherries right out of the jar. No biggie.
So then these amazingly delicious, sweet, meaty, Italian, Luxardos show up! I immediately make an equally delicious manhattan, and throw in a couple extra cherries for the wifey. No surprise, she LOVES them. Well, the next day I come home from work and catch her munching on the damn Luxardos right out of the jar!!!?!?! I explain that they are about $16/jar and NOT for snacking. A small argument ensues about spending so much on a jar of cherries, blah blah blah.
While mixing up my after work bevie, I calmly explain that If JUST used for garnishing an adult libation, a jar will last a long time! If wifey is snacking on them like popcorn, it's gonna get expensive:)
