Ingredient Notes

• Amaretto: Since this is the star ingredient of this cocktail, make sure to use a good quality Amaretto for the best flavor. Common brands include Disaronno, di Amore, and Gozio.
• Lemon and lime juice: Freshly-squeezed citrus juice goes a long way towards creating the best-flavored cocktail.
• Simple syrup: You can also sub 1:1 with agave syrup. To make it from scratch, simply combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then remove from heat and let cool.
• Sour mix: Other recipes may call for using a "sour mix" - which is just lemon and lime juice plus simple syrup. So while we don't specifically reference it here, you'll make a sour mix without even knowing it! If you're short on time, you could use store bought, but fresh is a lot better.
