Amaretto
Cocktails with Amaretto
Almond-liqueur drinks — Amaretto Sour and French Connection — two very different uses of the same bottle.
Amaretto is sweet almond liqueur. The Sour shakes it with lemon and optional egg white; French Connection is simply cognac and amaretto on ice.
Amaretto cocktail FAQ
Does an Amaretto Sour need egg white?
Optional. Egg white gives the sour a foam cap; lemon, amaretto, and a little sugar still make the drink without it.
What is a French Connection?
Cognac and amaretto, built over ice — a two-ingredient nightcap with no citrus.
