Think of the Imperial as a Martini with a cherry twist. The suggested teaspoon of maraschino liqueur is a matter of personal taste, but you can use more or less depending on your own preference. Although too much is not a good thing in this case.

- 1 tsp maraschino liqueur
- lemon twist for garnish
