Amaretto Sour
Amaretto Sour is a classic cocktail with a sweet-sour character where almond-flavored amaretto liqueur is balanced with lemon juice.
Amaretto Sour is one of the sweet and sour cocktails that became popular in America in the 1970s. This cocktail is based on an almond-flavored Italian liqueur called amaretto. Amaretto is a traditional liqueur produced mainly in the Lombardy region of Italy and is known for its almond and apricot kernel flavors.
In the 1970s, bar culture in America was changing rapidly. People began to prefer softer, easier-drinking cocktails. The sweet character of Amaretto combined with the fresh acidity of lemon juice made for a very balanced drink. For this reason, the Amaretto Sour quickly became one of the most popular cocktails on bar menus.
