Mixmaster Lou at it again making my head and heart swoon with delight from this hair curling tongue twisting mind bending libation. Snacking along with sipping this one is highly recommended. Note: It's totally worth coughing up the $21 and change for the Luxardo cherries. They are a versatile and relatively long lasting ingredient. Thanks for the introduction Annette. They are Thee original Maraschino Cherries after all, not those $1.99 fluorescent red orbs you get at the grocery. Don't get me wrong, those have their place for sure, like maybe on top of a Howard Johnson's banana split or something, but are they really even fruit? Hmm...curious.
