Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces (rī)1 Rye

3/4 ounce St Germaine Liqueur

3/4 ounce red vermouth

4 cups Amarena cherries – DRAINED WELL

1 container of Gold Luster Dust (3 g)

Gilded Amarena Cherries

Make the cherries in a container that you are going to store the cherries. It is important that the cherries be very well drained. Place the cherries in the container and add the luster dust. Stir gently to coat cherries in gold. Do not over stir - over stirring makes the gold “stirred in” and not coating. Store refrigerated for up to one month
