How to Make Amaretto Sour

With just three ingredients, this is one of the easiest drinks to make!

1. Make Sweet and Sour Mix: In a pinch you can use the store-bought version, but I highly recommend my homemade mixture. It even keeps well in the freezer.
2. The Perfect Ratio: For one co*cktail, combine equal parts amaretto liqueur and sweet and sour mix in a class filled with ice.
3. Top it Off: Add in the soda. I don’t measure here, I just add enough to fill the glass and add some carbonation.
