Just to clarify, Maraschino Liqueur is made from special Marasca cherries, and has a unique bitter almond flavor. It's very different from Marashino cherries or syrup, which are made with sugar, food color, and flavorings. You should never substitute one for the other in a drink.

Thanks for the recipes, Jab!

You are right, of course, that Maraschino Liqueur is is not a sugary candy flavor at all. In fact, when asking for it at the package store, be sure to pronounce it as mara-SKEE-no, not mara-SHE-no.
