Since 1905
The amarena cherry variety was developed by founder Gennaro Fabbri in 1869, and in 1905 his wife Rachele began selling her cooked cherry syrup in decorative white-and-blue ceramic jars from Faenza artist Riccardo Gatti — the vase on your shelf is the direct descendant. The recipe has passed down through generations of the Fabbri family unchanged. Browse more mixers or the Fabbri range.
Tasting Notes
Deep, dark cherry — tart and intense against the syrup's sweetness, with a firm bite that holds up in a cocktail and a syrup worth saving for sodas or drizzling.
How to Enjoy
The classic cocktail garnish for Manhattans and Old Fashioneds — one cherry, a spoon of syrup. Over ice cream, cakes, semifreddo, and yogurt; on cheese platters; and keep the vase when they're gone.
