Amaretto

Drinks with amaretto

Two drinks with amaretto: a shaken Amaretto Sour and a two-ingredient French Connection on ice.

Drinks with amaretto in this catalog split between a sour and a stirred nightcap. Shake the Amaretto Sour with lemon and optional egg white; build a French Connection from cognac and amaretto over ice, no citrus. There is no Godfather here — that would be Scotch plus amaretto, which this list does not carry. The almond bottle is sweet; cut it with lemon or with a dry cognac, not with soda.
