They’re also popular in many drinks (both alcoholic and non.) Mix a couple in with a Sprite and you have a Shirley Temple. Or throw them in with a classic Manhattan.
These cherries are usually made from small, light colored cherries. They are then preserved in a brine that bleaches them. Once bleached, they are dyed with artificial color and sweetened.
