What You'll Need:
-
1/4 cup Cherry Amaretto Preserves
-
2 tbsp hot water
-
1 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
-
3 oz mezcal or blanco tequila
-
1 1/2 oz amaretto liqueur
-
Ice
-
2 lime wheels, for garnish
How to Make:
-
Stir the preserves and hot water together in a shaker until loose and syrupy.
-
Add the lime juice, mezcal or tequila, and amaretto.
-
Add a big handful of ice and shake for 30 seconds, until the shaker is nice and frosty.
-
Strain into 2 glasses filled with ice. Use a fine mesh strainer if you want them super smooth, or a regular strainer to let a little cherry through.
-
Garnish each glass with a lime wheel, or a cherry from the jar if you can fish one out. Cheers!
