I tried this recipe thinking it sounded great. It made one of the worst cocktails, if not THE worst cocktail, I’ve had in my life. The issue the “maraschino liqueur”. From the name, I surmised that the flavor of this ingredient would be cherry, similar to maraschino cherries. I bought a bottle of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur. It is foul tasting and foul smelling and tastes nothing like cherries. It has a funky, musty taste and smell. I’m sure the daiquiri would come out just fine without this one ingredient, or maybe substituting something like triple sec in its place
