brandy-soaked cherries?

[iamsam]

Anyone know where I can buy some brandy-soaked cherries in Boston? Barring that, any Boston-area drinks that include these?

Thanks!

They use something along these lines in some of the cocktails (e.g., Manhattans) at Drink - my wife requested one as a garnish in an Aviation, and they accommodated her with an entire small glass full of marinated cherries on the side, so definitely ask!

J pace on Cross st has them $16 a jar.

you might also consider getting some (non-brandy-soaked) Amarena Fabbri wild dark cherries http://www.amazon.com/Amarena-Fabbri-... which i find to be juicier and tastier than some brandy-soaked ones i've tried, and which John G. (of Drink) used to use at 9 Park

They also have amarena toschi at J pace which are in a syrup rather than alcohol.

If it's the same as the ones at J Pace in Saugus, it's the Toschi brand and they're fiery, chemically tasting, and basically inedible. I ended up throwing out the entire jar after trying them twice, and making my own. Far superior... Start here if interested:

Yeah they kinda taste like cough syrup.
