Amaretto Stone Sour is a citrusy twist on the classic Amaretto Sour. It is sweet and tart with the perfect rich nutty Amaretto compliment. The addition of orange juice sets the cocktail apart from the classic happy hour favorite and makes it perfect for brunch!
If you’re worried about this drink being too sweet, fear no more. The rich, smooth almond flavor pairs beautifully with sweet and sour mix. Orange juice adds a citrusy and refreshing touch that ties it all together.

This is a super simple recipe with equal parts of all three ingredients which makes it easy to keep memorized. Skip the storebought sweet and sour mix and its extra sugar and additives. Making a batch of homemade sweet and sour mix makes this drink extra fresh and is easier than you may think.

It makes a great addition to your bar cart or homemade gift.
