Maraschino by Maraska is a traditional Dalmatian cherry liqueur produced in Zadar by distilling the local marasca cherry, using not only the ripe fruit but also the pits, stems, and leaves. This method creates its signature almond-like aroma and a complex, slightly bitter fruit profile.

The recipe is rooted in centuries-old regional tradition and continues the legacy of Zadar’s historic maraschino distilleries, which once supplied European courts and established the city as the center of maraschino production. The liqueur contains 32% alcohol, is crystal clear, and offers layered notes of cherry, stone kernel, and subtle herbal tones, with a clean, long finish.

Maraschino is enjoyed as a digestif, used in cocktails, or incorporated into pastries due to its distinctive aromatic character and stability of flavor. Today, Maraska maintains the original style of this liqueur through modern production in Zadar, preserving the regional identity and heritage of one of Dalmatia’s most recognizable products.
