The Amaretto Sour is a sweet and nutty cocktail made by combining rich amaretto liqueur with fresh lemon juice and simple syrup.
It balances the deep almond-like sweetness of amaretto with the lively acidity of lemon, creating a perfectly refreshing taste.
Adding egg white introduces a silky foam layer, giving the cocktail a creamier and more luxurious texture.
With an alcohol content of around 14β16%, it's light yet flavorful, making it a popular choice for dessert or a relaxed evening drink.
Itβs a delightful option when you want something sweet but well-balanced, smooth, and easy to enjoy.
