Amaretto
« on: December 18, 2008, 07:36:31 PM »
A co-worker gave everyone Mason jars of homemade amaretto today.

Okay, so my question is...what the heck do I do with it?  Is it supposed to be mixed with something?  Just over ice?

Just drink it on the rocks.

It is pretty sweet, so have it as an apertif.

Try this, doll.

The Amaretto Sour.

1 1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 - 2 splashes sweet and sour mix

Pour the amaretto liqueur into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Add a splash or two of sweet and sour mix, and shake well. Strain or pour into an old-fashioned glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange, and serve.




Good suggestion BadCat.  :)

I've never really drank much amaretto, but this is a Christmas present, so I have to drink it.   :-)

I think when mixed with cola, it tastes like Dr Pepper.

I used to drink some kind of shot, after I was shot, that had amaretto in it....

I can't drink the stuff. :(

In college I killed half a bottle one night and got so freaking sick the next day that I still wanna hurl to this day when I smell it.  Ditto tequila.

I know this is considered a "sissy drink" but it is my favorite drink.  Remember that!!!!  ;)

Also add it to your margaritas.......YUM!!
