Step 1

Muddle the cherries into a pulp, making sure each cherry is fully broken apart.

Step 3

Add the mezcal or tequila and amaretto.

Step 4

Add a handful of ice and shake for 30 seconds or until the shaker produces cold condensation all around the outside.

Step 5

Strain into a cocktail glass filled with ice and garnish with fresh cherries. Cheers!

Chef’s notes

MOCKTAIL – Replace the tequila with club soda and the amaretto with 1/2 oz diet cola + 1/2 oz almond syrup (like this one from Torani). The mocktail version may be a bit sweeter, so pull back on the agave if needed.
