Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup) to thoroughly chill and dilute the drink to the proper balance.
- 2
Add spirits and juices
Pour 2 oz Smirnoff Cherry vodka, 0.5 oz black raspberry liqueur, 0.5 oz Amaretto, 2 oz cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice into the shaker over the ice.
- 3
Add cherries
Drop 2 Amarena cherries (including a small spoonful of their syrup if you want extra cherry depth) into the shaker.
- 4
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This chills, dilutes, and integrates the Amaretto and liqueur with the juices.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to remove cherry solids and ice shards.
