Amaretto Sour is a modern cocktail that blends the sweetness of almonds with warm spiced bourbon and tart citrus for a taste bud symphony!

This delicious whiskey Drink is perfect for enjoying a cocktail hour with friends. For more bourbon cocktails, try my Whiskey Sour and Mint Julep recipes too.

Sabrina’s Amaretto Sour Cocktail Recipe

My favorite version of the classic Amaretto Sour is made with bourbon to add a smoky depth and highlight the distinctive flavor of sweet almonds. If you want a drink that tastes just as amazing, if not better, as one you’d get at an upscale bar, this is the recipe for you. Enjoy a glass as an after-dinner sweet digestif or have it be your signature drink during an intimate cocktail party with friends. Use my homemade Simple Syrup and Luxardo cherries for an extra special touch!
