Best value for the money. I've tried several different brands of cocktail cherries and these are the best in flavor and value. Some brands have a lot of liquid in the jar and a lot less cherries, such as Luxardo. This jar is packed with cherries and the flavor is excellent for our cocktails. Fav cocktail is called Pontoon Life - 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz Amaro Nonino, 1/2 oz simple syrup, 1/2 oz lemon juice. Shake with ice and serve over ice with a cherry!!

These are fantastic! No artificial taste!

Really nice texture and plenty of syrup to enhance mixed drinks. Highly recommend.

Luxardo is my go-to brand. Just tried these, perfectly reasonable for what they are, but good to know the differences.These (I’ll call TCC for Traverse City cherries) are made in US, which is nice.If the servings per container are accurate on both, based on cherries only, not syrup, TCC are about half the cost per cherry.Biggest difference for me — TCC syrup includes “whiskey,” Lux syrup includes a cherry based liqueur, and, to me, has more cherry flavor. The Lux jar says it is 50/50 cherries/syrup; I find the syrup to be very useful in drinks.If you are making Manhattans or other dark liquor drinks these are more than fine. I also use the Luxardo, and sometimes just the syrup, in fruitier drinks. I suspect I will still prefer the Lux for that, not wanting to add the whiskey flavors but preferring to keep the purer cherry flavors.These are made from larger Michigan cherries, so are bigger and meatier than other cocktail cherries I’ve used, which is nice, but they are a different type of cherry than Luxardo so don’t expect them to be similar.Overall, after sitting in a drink, the TCC seem to have less flavor at the end; they aren’t quite the final little treat that I consider Lux to be.These need to be refrigerated after opening according to the label, Luxardo do not.I will happily use this jar but may not buy them again because I’ll prefer Lux for some things and don’t really need two separate products when Lux covers all my bases.But if I didn’t have Lux in the house I wouldn’t hesitate to use these in nonwhiskey-based drinks.

I love the dark colored cherries you get in old fashions etc. These do the trick. They are a bit expensive but a jar does last a long time (not in my house). They are also great over ice cream and the syrup is also great to add to drinks. I make bourbon, lemonade, and the cherry syrup. Really good!

I've used other brands and found filthy brand cherries to be much better than these. The cherries are okay and in cocktails they still look good, but they don't taste great. Can't use the syrup in cocktails because it has too much of a children's cough syrup flavor. Would rather spend money on other brands.

These cherries have a great flavor and are great in Old Fashions. A few drops of the syrup in the drink will elevate your cocktail and have people impressed with your creation.

Got these for my son-in-law who’s already a big fan of Traverse City Whiskey. He loves these cherries in his old fashion’s. Much tastier than cheap, fake “maraschino” cherries.
