A Twist:

There’s really not much to ‘twist’ with this Amaretto Sour recipe. However, there are a couple of ways to make the sour mix*

1. 1 ounce simple syrup (half part sugar, half part water), to 3/4 ounces lemon juice (traditional)
2. Equal parts simple syrup, lime juice and lemon juice (more citrus in flavor)
