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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
