Orasella's Anne SanGiovanni Restores the Maraschino

Amy Vallejo/ Anne SanGiovanni Season 2 Episode 23

I never knew I had so many questions about cherries.  Not just any cherries.  Plump local cherries, hand-plucked from a local orchard and bathed in a proper, traditional Italian recipe of maraschino (maraskeeno) liqueur.   Sought after cherries for any craft cocktail enthusiast.   
I am, of course, speaking of Orasella Maraschino Cherries -a beloved favorite for most bartenders, bars and food & wine shops. 

Anne SanGiovanni, the co-founder and owner, speaks to the evolution of Orasella-a journey that required well over 250 lbs of cherries to find the perfect finish to a cocktail. 

Learn the proper distinction of your Shirley Temple cherry vs the honorable Maraschino that Orasella produces.   Hear the story of how it all began-2  working moms who sought each other's company while enjoying a creative outlet. Both seeking quiet from the chaos, saddled up at a bar one night, doing their R&D,  sipping cocktails thinking, "This drink is good, but...."     
Listen in as Anne shares the learnings, trials, and victories of starting from scratch and establishing a well known brand for any sophisticated sipper.

She also shares her tips for some local establishments slinging some of the best food & bev!  Orasella's one of my go to resources for thoughtful, intriguing cocktail recipes-hands down,


Don't forget- Orasella is gifting a jar to one lucky guest at our April 28 event!
Hope you're the lucky one.
