- 1½ ounces amaretto liqueur
- 6 ounces ginger ale (preferably Vernors)
- 1 maraschino cherry, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a rocks glass with ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Add Amaretto: Pour 1½ ounces of amaretto liqueur over the ice to provide the sweet almond flavor base of the cocktail.
- Top with Ginger Ale: Add 6 ounces of ginger ale, preferably Vernors for its distinct spiciness, to give the cocktail a bubbly, refreshing finish.
- Garnish: Place one maraschino cherry in the glass as a classic garnish and to enhance the drink’s visual appeal.
- Serve: Stir gently if desired, and enjoy your quick and easy Amaretto Sour Cocktail.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ginger ale to taste, depending on how strong or mild you prefer your cocktail.
- Using Vernors ginger ale provides a unique flavor, but any quality ginger ale will work.
- Serve immediately while the drink is cold and fizzy.
- For a slightly more tart version, consider adding a splash of fresh lemon juice.
