Maraschino is somewhat bitter like Campari in flavor. Many drink you add a only a small amount.

Many vintage drinks added a bitter or anise flavor (absinthe, penord, etc) to add a funk to it.

BevMo caries it (and many other hard to find liquors), if you are by one.

Here is a drink I came up with that is a variant of a Negroni but uses Maraschino instead:

In old fashioned glass fill with ice
1 part Gin,
1 part sweet vermouth
1 part Maraschino

This drink is not for everyone. It's not that sweet and has a lot going on. It is very complex but the flavors are also very balanced. But that is also similar to a Negroni.
