Tips & Suggestions

Preparation

Preparation Tip 1

Pour the measured maraschino liqueur into a tiny, clean spoon or jigger and allow it to settle for 30 seconds at room temperature before adding to temporarily enable the subtle cherry notes to ‘bloom’.

Preparation

Preparation Tip 2

Instead of shaking vigorously, use a controlled, somewhat less rapid motion for 20-25 seconds to promote complete chilling and dilution while minimising over-aeration, resulting in a silkier texture.
