Answer 1

Gosh, I usually have someone else make it... But here's a recipe:

Amaretto Sour

1 oz. Amaretto
2 oz. Lemon Juice or Sweet & Sour
Orange Slice

Combine all the ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, and strain into a chilled sour glass. Garnish with the orange slice

I would probably throw in a dash of Triple Sec just for good measure...

Answer 6

When I make amaretto sours, depending on the size of the glass, I use 2-3 oz. of amaretto and then fill the glass nearly to the top with sour mix. I shake this mixture and then pour it back into the glass. I then top it off with a splash of soda.

Answer 7

Very basic cocktail. In a shaker fill with ice, one ounce of Amaretto and a few ounces of Lemon/Lime juice. Shake and strain into a Whiskey Sour glass. No garnish.

Answer 8

Amaretto Sour
Traditional: Amaretto liqueur and juice from half a lemon, shaken with ice, strained into an old fashioned glass that has had its rim optionally "frosted" with granulated sugar, and garnished with a maraschino cherry
Modern: use 3 parts Amaretto and 1 part sour mix instead of the lemon juice; do not frost the rim of the glass with sugar.
