THE ALMOND AFFAIR
A warm, almond-forward bourbon sour with a sharp citrus edge. Bourbon gives the drink structure while amaretto adds marzipan-like sweetness and a soft nutty finish. This house cocktail began as an Amaretto Bourbon Sour, now served under its own name.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Oz. (45 ml) Bourbon
- 3/4 Oz. (22.5 ml) Amaretto
- 3/4 Oz. (22.5 ml) Fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 Oz. (7.5 ml) Simple syrup
- 2 Dashes Angostura bitters
Method
- Add bourbon, amaretto, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and Angostura bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake hard until chilled, then strain over fresh ice in a lowball glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or cocktail cherry. For a drier version, reduce or omit the simple syrup before shaking.
