This rich, jewel-toned cocktail takes its inspiration from Italy’s famous Amarena black cherries, beloved in both desserts and aperitivi. The deep cherry flavor is perfectly balanced with a bright citrus twist, making it elegant enough for a dinner party yet easy enough for a Friday night treat. The triple berry sugar rimmer adds just the right hint of sweetness.
