This drink tastes amazing!! I made it for Thanksgiving and it paired so well with my appetizers. My daughters loved it too.
In the past, I have ordered this drink at bars and restaurants. Making it at home has spoiled me – I will never be able to order one as good as I can make it myself thanks to your recipe!!!!
Amaretto liqueur is one of those bar cart necessities. It also happens to be one of my favorite flavors in cocktails.The rich, smooth almond flavor pairs beautifully with sweet and sour mix.
Occasionally, the Amaretto Sour Recipe gets criticized for being too sweet. Not so with this recipe! Use my easy to make Sweet and Sour Mix and you’ll get that perfect Amaretto Sour flavor every time.
