                                Before Prohibition, maraschino cherries were famously made by soaking sour marasca cherries in a special liqueur. But after the alcohol ban, the process was completely changed, meaning the vast majority of bright red, mass-produced maraschino cherries today contain zero alcohol. Specialty cocktail cherries, however, often contain alcohol.
