amaretto sour
Nutty citrus drink
An amaretto sour is a cocktail made with amaretto liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup, often garnished with a cherry.
The drink balances the almond sweetness of amaretto against citrus tartness.
Some versions add egg white for a frothy texture or bourbon for depth: She ordered an amaretto sour at the hotel bar.
