When I was a bartender people always commented that I made the best mixed drinks. One of my requested mixed drinks was my version of the Amaretto Sour. My “secret” was the addition of 7-Up which I think gave the drink a gentle fizz that broke up the syrupy sweetness of the drink. I usually made my own sour mix, which was nothing more then Country Time Lemonade (another “secret”) or would mix lemon juice with some granulated sugar - and shake vigorously. You can also use store bought sour mix. Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces carbonated lemon-lime beverage (i use 7-up) |
3 ounces amaretto |
2 ounces sour mix (or 1 1/2 ounces lemon juice with granulated sugar) |
2 orange slices, garnish |
1 maraschino cherry |
Directions:
1. Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice or into a glass that a smaller glass can fit into and shake.
2. Strain into a highball glass and squeeze the juice from one orange slice into the drink and garnish with the other orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
