Amaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur known for its almond or apricot flavors. The Amaretto Sour is an easy cocktail to make, but it can often be overpowered by store-bought sweet and sour mix. The best way to make an Amaretto Sour is with fresh juice instead of the mix. Just like the base recipe…
Combine 2 oz amaretto, 1 oz fresh lemon juice and ¼ oz sugar syrup (plus one egg white if using) in a shaker. Dry-shake, add ice and shake again. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
