A Brief History of the Amaretto Sour Cocktail
The Amaretto Sour has its roots deeply embedded in Italy. Amaretto itself, a sweet almond-flavoured liqueur, originated in the region of Saronno over 500 years ago. Traditionally crafted from apricot pits, almonds, and various spices, Amaretto was enjoyed as a cordial in Italian households before making its way into the cocktail scene.
The Amaretto Sour cocktail, a relatively modern invention, gained popularity in the mid-20th century. The cocktail combines Amaretto with lemon juice and sugar syrup, crafting a sweet yet tart flavour profile that pairs beautifully with a variety of spirits, most notably whiskey. This resulting concoction has made the Amaretto Sour a timeless favourite among classic cocktails.

Why Amaretto, and Why with Whiskey?
Choosing Amaretto for a cocktail comes not just from its unique taste but its versatility as well. Amaretto's almond notes, sweet profile, and slight bitterness make it a delightful base or addition to myriad cocktails. When paired with whiskey, the cocktail transcends into a balanced blend, combining the robustness of whiskey with the smoothness of almond liqueur.
