A slow cooker, four ingredients, and mere minutes of active work are all you need to whip up a batch of delicious meatballs that combine sweet, tart, and deeply flavorful Luxardo brand maraschino cherries with the spicy, intensely savory kick of our favorite Bloody Mary mix.
This recipe was devised by one of KegWorks’ own, and we’re pretty proud to share it with you. It’s special enough for cocktail parties but also simple and low maintenance, which makes it equally perfect for tailgating or just having a few friends over to watch the game. And since it cooks in your crockpot, you do all the prep work well in advance of your event--a bonus in my book.
