Why You’ll Love This

These cherries are the finishing touch that makes a home cocktail feel properly composed. They are dark, glossy, and fruit-forward, with a tender but substantial bite and a rich syrup that tastes like cherries rather than artificial candy.

What Makes It Special

Hotel Starlino follows a traditional Italian method, steeping cherries in Marasca juice and allowing them time to absorb the syrup while preserving texture. They contain no artificial colors or flavors, giving them a naturally dark appearance and a more complex sweet-tart profile.

Perfect Pairings

Pair them with bourbon, rye, brandy, sweet vermouth, amaro, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, panna cotta, blue cheese, or sparkling water.

Serving Ideas

Garnish Manhattans and Old Fashioneds, spoon over ice cream or cakes, add to sparkling water, chop into brownies, or serve with chocolate desserts. Use the syrup in cocktails, mocktails, milkshakes, or dessert sauces.
