Fill 3/4 with ice and stir.
Strain into a martini glass. Spear a Gilded Cherry on a pick and lay across drink.
Gilded 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 1 week.

Thank you very much.
