Substitutions and Questions



Amaretto Sour Drink Recipe

Can I use a bottled sour mix?


You can - but the sour mix is so simple to make! Your own sour mix will be far better than anything you can get in the grocery store.

Can I use lemon juice in a bottle for the *sour*?


ONLY IF YOU HAVE TO! The fresh lemons make the drink!

Why are some amaretto sours slightly cloudy?


They probably shouldn't be cloudy. But, this will happen if a juicer is used and the lemon is juiced whole. The pith causes the cloudiness.

What can I substitute in this amaretto sour recipe?


Nothing! It's pretty basic and this is the traditional recipe. Only sub would be lemon juice in a bottle - IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST!

Which brand of amaretto works for amaretto sours?


Being Italian and also a foodie purist, I prefer to stick with an Italian liqueur that is actually made in Italy. I guess too, I'm sentimental. My parents and grandparents always had DiSaronno in the cabinet. So that is what I buy. Doesn't make my amaretto sour drink recipe the best in the history of ever, but I do like to stay true to my heritage.
