It typically has a rich, fruity flavor and a deep red color, making it a popular choice for cocktails and desserts. Commonly enjoyed as a digestif, cherry liqueur can also be used in cooking to enhance the flavor of various dishes. Popular brands include Luxardo and Benedictine, which are known for their high-quality cherry liqueurs. It can be served neat, on the rocks, or mixed into drinks like Manhattans and sours.
