Amaretto Sour

Alyssa
Amaretto Sour Cocktail

We love Amaretto. It’s delicious almond flavour is such a sweet treat, perfect for any time of year.

There’s lot’s of ways to enjoy Amaretto. You can drink it on its own, add it to coffee, mix it with scotch or bourbon, but we opted for a classic Amaretto Sour – which we sipped on while making fresh pasta.


If you haven’t noticed by now, we love a good sour (see our Earl Grey Gin Sour, Rose Sour and Campfire Sour). The frothiness of the egg white makes it such a decadent drink, and you can create a sour using a variety of different flavours. If you’re not familiar with the sour family of cocktails, they’re mixed drinks containing a base liquor, lemon or lime juice, simple syrup (or other type of sweetener) and egg whites. If you’ve never had one, the Amaretto Sour is a classic one to start with.

Amaretto Sour

  • 1 oz Amaretto

  • Dash of angostura bitters
  • Cherries (for garnish)
  • Cocktail shaker
