About This Cocktail
A crisp, sour-style cocktail that leans into the cherry character of Luxardo Maraschino, softened by a clean pour of vodka and brightened with fresh lime. A few drops of cherry bitters sharpen the fruit and carry the finish. Served straight up in a chilled coupe, finished with a single Luxardo cherry — restrained, precise, and unmistakably Amuerte Light Blue.

Serving Tip
Measure the Maraschino with a light hand — it's generous in flavour and will quickly overtake the lime if overpoured. Shake vigorously for a full 12 to 15 seconds to bring the drink below freezing and give the sour its signature crisp texture. Serve immediately, before the chill fades.
