Red Maraschino Cocktail Cherries with Stem

Opies Red Cocktail Cherries with Stem 225g are the finishing touch that can transform a good drink or dessert into something that feels a little more special. These vibrant maraschino-style cherries are carefully preserved in a specially flavoured syrup, giving them a delicious sweetness, a juicy texture and their signature bright red colour. Complete with their stems, they're as practical as they are eye-catching, making garnishing effortless.

Perfect for classic cocktails such as a Manhattan, Singapore Sling or Piña Colada, they're equally at home topping cheesecakes, Black Forest gâteau, ice cream sundaes and celebration cakes. The stems make them easy to pick up and place, while the rich syrup can also be used to add a subtle cherry sweetness to drinks, desserts and baking.

At i4C, these are the sort of ingredient that instantly makes serving feel a bit more occasion-worthy. Whether it's a Friday evening cocktail, a homemade sundae or a birthday cake, a cherry on top really does make all the difference.
