Pitted cherries with stems

The cherries are pitted while retaining their stems, a practical combination for use as a garnish. The absence of the pit makes serving and consumption easier, while the stem allows the cherry to be handled and positioned easily in a glass or on a dessert.

They can be placed directly into a drink, positioned on the rim of the glass or served on a cocktail pick, depending on the recipe and presentation style.

Stemmed cherries for cocktail garnish

In bartending, garnish contributes to the final presentation of a drink and can visually complement the serving style of a cocktail.

LUCIANO cherries retain their stems, making them easy to place directly in the glass, on the rim or on a cocktail pick.

They can be used individually or combined with other garnish elements such as citrus slices, peels or zest, depending on the cocktail and desired presentation.

Which cocktails can they be used for?

Red cocktail cherries are a versatile garnish and can be used in a wide range of recipes and serving styles.

Depending on the recipe and bartender's preference, they are suitable for:

• whisky-based cocktails;
• rum-based cocktails;
• vermouth-based cocktails;
• sweet or fruity cocktails;
• long drinks;
• mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks;
• milkshakes;
• drinks served with whipped cream or toppings.

They can also be used in classic cocktails where a cherry is commonly used as a garnish, such as the Manhattan, as well as different variations of the Old Fashioned, depending on the bartender's recipe and serving style.

For non-alcoholic drinks, cocktail cherries are also a recognisable garnish for different variations of the Shirley Temple.

A distinctive garnish for cocktail presentation

The red colour makes the cherries clearly visible in the finished drink. This is particularly useful for cocktails served in transparent glassware, where the garnish becomes part of the overall visual presentation.

The stem provides a distinctive visual element and also makes the cherry easier to handle without requiring it to be pierced for every style of presentation.

750g net / 420g drained weight

When comparing different cocktail cherries, it is useful to distinguish between the total net weight and the weight of the fruit after the syrup has been drained.

• 750g is the total net weight of the contents of the jar;
• 420g is the drained net weight of the cherries.

This information is particularly useful for professional users comparing different packs of cocktail cherries and evaluating the actual quantity of fruit available.

For bars and cocktail bars

In a professional bar, the cherries can be kept at the garnish station and used according to the cocktails and drinks available on the menu.

The jar format is suitable both for venues that regularly use cocktail cherries and for bars or restaurants that require this type of garnish for selected drinks on their menu.

For professional service, individual cherries can be removed from the jar with a clean utensil and incorporated into the final presentation of the cocktail.

Not only for cocktails: desserts, ice cream and plating

Stemmed cocktail cherries can also be used beyond the bar. Their decorative appearance and red colour make them suitable for presenting a variety of desserts and pastry products.

They can be used for:

• ice cream and ice cream sundaes;
• milkshakes;
• cakes;
• pastries;
• desserts served in glasses;
• whipped cream and toppings;
• dessert plating and decoration;
• other pastry and confectionery applications.

Cocktail cherries vs. fresh cherries

Cocktail cherries and fresh cherries serve different purposes. Fresh fruit is seasonal and is generally chosen for the natural characteristics of the fruit.

Cocktail cherries in syrup are primarily intended for use as a garnish and decorative ingredient for drinks and desserts and can be used independently of the fresh cherry season when stored according to the instructions provided for the product.
