Best Amaretto Sour Recipe
Make the Best Amaretto Sour Recipe with just two ingredients... and plenty of ice! Simple, balanced, and ready in minutes. A true classic!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces amaretto liqueur such as Disaronno
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup ice
- 1 lemon or lime slice for garnish
Instructions
- SHAKE: Add 1 cup ice, 2 ounces amaretto liqueur, and 1 ounce fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the shaker feels very cold.
- SERVE: Pour the cocktail into a rocks glass, including the ice.
- GARNISH: Add 1 lemon or lime slice to the glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-Ahead: This cocktail is best made fresh. You can pre-measure the amaretto and lemon juice up to 1 hour ahead and keep chilled.
Storage: Not recommended. Citrus juice dulls quickly once mixed.
Ice Tip: Use fresh ice straight from the freezer for the cleanest flavor and best chill.
Ingredient Note: Fresh lemon juice makes a noticeable difference. Bottled juice will taste flat in a simple two-ingredient cocktail.
