Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare two tall glasses by filling them generously with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.

In a small pitcher or jug, stir together the amaretto, cherry cordial, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.

Divide the cherry and almond mixture evenly between the two ice-filled glasses.

Top up each glass with chilled lemonade and stir gently to incorporate the layers.

Garnish each glass with a maraschino cherry before serving.

Chef's Tips

For a more intense almond aroma, add a tiny drop of almond extract to the jug. If you prefer a less sweet drink, swap the lemonade for soda water and add a splash more lemon juice.
