First, de-stem the cherries.

In a small saucepan add whole cherries, sugar, water and herbs; turn to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the cherries start to break down.
-
Stirring continually, smashing the cherries while they are cooking; I like to use a muddle to mash the cherries.
-
Once the cherries are soft and broken up, turn heat off and let cool.
-
Using a spoon, remove the cherry seeds. Add mixture to a food processor and blend well.
-
Strain cherry mix into a glass jar through a fine mesh strainer.
-
In a mixing glass, add the tequila along with the cherry saffron syrup.
-
Add ice and shake for 8 seconds.
-
Pour into a the glasses and add the Prosecco slowly to avoid bubbling over.
