Notes

Amaretto Stone Sour cocktail with orange slice garnish and bright citrus colors
A fruity twist on the classic—this Amaretto Stone Sour blends orange and lemon beautifully.

 

  • For a smoother foam, use fresh egg white or replace with ½ oz aquafaba (vegan option).
  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or reducing simple syrup.
  • Add ½ oz bourbon for the modern “craft cocktail bar” version of the Amaretto Sour.
  • Use fresh lemon juice—bottled juice dulls the flavor.
  • If batching for parties, mix everything except ice and egg white. Shake individual servings for best foam.
