WITH A HISTORY SPANNING FIVE CENTURIES, FEW MODERN SPIRITS PRODUCERS CAN CLAIM AS ILLUSTRIOUS A HISTORY AS MARASKA. BASED IN ZADAR, CROATIA, THE MARASKA BRAND IS BUILT ON A LOCAL HISTORY OF CHERRY PRODUCTION DATING BACK TO 1399. Today, the Maraska brand is known worldwide for its high-quality range of spirits, including liqueurs, brandy, and premium cocktail cherries. Throughout Eastern Europe, Maraska is a staple at celebrations, family gatherings and is a must for an after-dinner drink. “Many of Maraska’s products have become well-known among the mixology community for their versatility as modifiers in cocktails. This includes Maraschino Liqueur which is produced from Maraska’s Estategrown Marasca cherries, which come from the Adriatic Coast of Croatia,” shares Mark Tucker, Executive Vice President at Worldwide Libations.
