I have a Bardinet Maraschino and I feel it’s overpowering in this cocktail. Anybody have any experience with it? I want to know if it’s worth picking up some Luxardo or if maybe I just don’t like maraschino.

I mixed it with Bardinet, then I enjoyed it with Luxardo in The Pharmacy, Málaga. The difference is enormous in favour of Luxardo. This must be one of the best cocktails I've ever tasted.

Luxardo is worth the investment! Out of interest, I just tried with both 10ml (1/3oz) and 15ml (1/2oz) of maraschino (both versions without the addition of sugar). With 10ml I found thin and far from being a last word. The 15ml version was OK but I much prefer it with 20ml.

Same here Jock. I did a 1,1,1,1/2 with the maraschino and added another 1/4 simple. Worked a lot better.

Just tried it for first time. My first reaction was the same. Next time I will limit the maraschino. Loved it anyway.
