• 8 cl Cranberry Nectar
• 1 tsp agave syrup (or honey)
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Preparation steps

1. Fill a shaker with ice.
2. Add Bourbon, Amaretto Liqueur, cranberry nectar, agave syrup, and fresh lemon juice.
3. Shake vigorously for about ten seconds.
4. Pour the mixture into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
5. Garnish with a twist of lemon zest and a maraschino cherry.
6. Tip: The addition of agave syrup or honey provides extra sweetness that balances the bitterness of Amaretto, while the fresh lemon juice adds a tangy touch that enhances the cocktail's freshness.
