The Amaretto Sour is a delightful balance of sweetness from the almond-flavoured amaretto liqueur and the tartness of fresh lemon juice. Often served with a cherry and lemon garnish, this drink is a refreshing mix perfect for any occasion. The combination of bold flavours results in a smooth, tangy, and subtly nutty taste that appeals to a wide range of palates.

• 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
