When last we left off of
the cocktail design adventure, I was playing around with amaretto sours. The lemon version was a little too sour, the lime not quite enough. I knew I was close. There are recipes around that use both in equal parts, though they also tend to include Angostura bitters. I like Angostura but if I were going to make the drink my own, I'd need to try something a little different. How about that
bitters of the month...
My dear friends, I present to you:
Sour MoXXy
2 oz. amaretto
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. lime juice
2 dashes grapefruit bitters
Cherry garnish
Our daughter made the labels. The capital X's are important. XX = 20
Mmmmm...this sounds good. I never tried the angostura bitters and it does not sound nice to taste
ReplyDeleteWell, you wouldn't want to taste it on its own - at least, I wouldn't. But it's awfully nice in cocktails.
DeleteStill need to get some amaretto...
ReplyDeleteYeah, you do.
DeleteOh, happy anniversary! Still wish Christian were still blogging!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet to say. Big life changes MIGHT be giving me more time in the future...
DeleteI would also love to see you blogging again, buddy! That said, I'm glad I have other opportunities to see you.

DeleteWe've got some almonds to use up, going to make some amaretto - will have to note this recipe for future use :-)
ReplyDeleteMaking your own... sounds lovely. Please let me know how it goes.
DeleteIt was a really delicious cocktail, and the artistry of the labels really brought it all together! Thank you Squid for working so diligently to create this drink for us and our special anniversary!!
