Amaretto Sour

This is a signature drink for me and my bestie from college. We had a couple of these at a country dive bar in Tucson in the mornings while we beaded wedding lace for my wedding gown. It’s still a favorite of mine. Cheers!!!

2 shots of amaretto

1 shot fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 shot simple syrup

1 amarena cherry and a bit of the exquisite juice\syrup

Fill each cocktail glass half full with ice. Then add the amaretto, lemon juice and simple syrup. Stir and add a cherry and a few drops of the cherry syrup.  

Simple Syrup

2 cups hot water

2 cups sugar

Heat water in the microwave or on the stove top until hot but not yet boiling. Mix until the sugar dissolves and store in a mason jar in the fridge.
