This classic drink is a testament to the magic of mixology, combining sweet and sour in perfect harmony.

The story behind the drink

The Amaretto Sour cocktail has a rich history dating back to the seventies – first introduced to the public in the US by the importer of Amaretto di Saronno (now known as Disaronno) during a resurgence of Italian spirits and liqueurs. It became a big hit in the 1980s, with variants being created by various bartenders, but the classic sweet and sour combination remains the undisputed favourite – a staple on all good cocktail menus.

The ingredients

Our Amaretto Sour is made with Luxardo Amaretto – an amber-coloured liqueur with a characteristic almond taste, although it does not actually contain almonds. It is produced in Torreglia, Italy and sold worldwide. According to the company, the liqueur is an infusion of apricot kernel oil with "absolute alcohol, burnt sugar, and the pure essence of seventeen selected herbs and fruits". To complete the drink we add fresh lemon juice.
