Top Shelf Preserves - Ontario Maraschino Cherries

Made with Ontario-grown fruit, Top Shelf Preserves Maraschino Cherries offer a naturally sweet, all-Canadian take on a classic cocktail garnish. Lightly sweetened and free from artificial dyes, these cherries bring a balanced flavour—rich, deep, and just the right touch of tartness. Perfect for cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, or as a decadent addition to desserts, they’re a bar cart essential.

With 30-45 cherries per jar, they’re made to be enjoyed—just be sure to finish within six weeks of opening (though we doubt they’ll last that long).

Ingredients: Ontario Sour cherries, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Sugar. May contain cherry pits.
