Amaretto Sours

Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ounce lemon juice about half a lemon
  • 1-2 cherries and an orange wedge for garnish

Instructions

  1. To a cocktail shaker add ice, amaretto, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Shake until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold in your hand. Strain into a coup or over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a cherry (or two) and a orange wedge.

Recipe Notes

This is certainly a sweet, dessert-like cocktail, but I personally like to go a little heavy on the lemon juice and a little light on the simple syrup. Still roughly an ounce of each but as you pour into your jigger you can control if it's a very full ounce or not. Adjust as you prefer.
