For drinks: How do you make ammaretto mix?

Question

I went to the liquor store the other day and asked for ammaretto, and they handed me a sweet and sour mix. but it def. didn't taste the same as ammaretto?? Do u have to mix sweet and sour with something else to make ammaretto?? HELP!!

is there a brand anyone reccomends for the ammaretto mix?? i just dont understand why they would hand me sweet and sour mix when i ASKED them for ammaretto???

Answer 1

Amaretto - "Disaronno" is an example. You can't make it or mix it, it's an Italian liqueur. It comes in a rectangular bottle with a gold label and a square cap. I have no clue why they gave you sweet and sour mix, it's too bad they didn't understand what you were talking about. However, if you mix the two together (Bar lime / Sweet & Sour and Amaretto) and you get an Amaretto Sour.

I'm still having trouble understanding why they gave you Sweet & Sour Mix... that's gonna bug me for the rest of the day. lol

Answer 2

Amaretto is a liquor...you don't need to make it, you just need to go to a store where they know what the hell they are talking about:)
Most likely, they handed you sweet and sour because an "Amaretto Sour" is one of the most popular drinks made with Amaretto, containing, obviously, amaretto and sweet and sour.
SO find a new store, and good luck!

Answer 3
