How the Amaretto Sour tastes

The taste of the Amaretto Sour is very pleasant and balanced. The interplay of sweet and sour comes out very well in this drink. The sweet notes of the Amaretto and the sugar syrup form the perfect counterpoint to the more sour notes of the lemon and the tart notes of the bitters.

This makes the taste very varied and pleasantly mild/sweet. Compared to its well-known relative, the Whisky Sour, the Amaretto Sour is sweeter and less tart. Try the mild sour cocktail yourself and create your own taste profile.

A cocktail that almost everyone loves

Summer is the time for cocktails, mixed drinks and mocktails. They can be used to mix up parties or brighten up happy hours. Whether at the beach, in a cocktail bar or in the hot summer heat in the big cities: refreshing cocktails like the Amaretto Sour, Aperol Spritz or Hugo Cocktail are loved almost everywhere. Especially if you like sweet cocktails and the taste of almonds, you should try the Amaretto Sour. You will be surprised at the refreshing effect this drink can have in summer.

And best of all, this Amaretto Sour cocktail is so easy to make. The recipe we presented to you above is for one drink. But you can also simply increase the ingredients in equal quantities if you are entertaining several guests at once.
