Classic Amaretto Sour

The Amaretto Sour is a classic, simple yet delicious cocktail. Aquafaba replaces egg white to create a thick, rich foam. Great for any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces amaretto liqueur (such as Disaronno)
  • 1/2 ounce bourbon
  • 1/2 ounce aquafaba (chickpea cooking liquid - see note)
  • 1/2 ounce lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 orange peel twist (optional)
  • 1 maraschino cherry or brandied cherry (optional)

Instructions

  • Add 1 1/2 ounces amaretto liqueur, 1/2 ounce bourbon, 1/2 ounce aquafaba , and 1/2 ounce lemon juice to a cocktail shaker without the ice. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. Add a couple of handfuls of ice, and shake vigorously again until chilled. Pour into a glass to serve, either with or without ice (I prefer without ice for this drink) and garnish with a twist of orange peel and a maraschino cherry.

Notes

You can make this recipe without the aquafaba, but it will not get a foam on the top.
