I was introduced by one of my friends to Amaretto Sour last christmas. how did I miss this amazing drink? I have been making them weekly now. So easy and tasty!

Ingredients

• 2 oz amaretto
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• ½ oz egg white (optional, but recommended for that silky foam)
• Ice

Garnish (optional but nice)

• Lemon twist
• Brandied cherry

Instructions

1. Add amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a shaker.
2. Dry shake (no ice) for about 10 seconds to build foam.
3. Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
4. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice (or up if you prefer).
5. Garnish with a lemon twist and/or cherry.

Quick Variations

• No egg white: Skip it—still tasty, just less frothy.
• Amaretto Stone Sour: Add ½ oz orange juice.
• Less sweet: Cut the simple syrup down to ¼ oz.
