Why you are pouring this tonight

Amaretto carries the sweetness so you don’t need syrup. Add a rinse of bourbon and you’ve got a balanced, almond-scented sour. Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s version in Portland helped rehabilitate amaretto’s reputation in the 2000s.

What changes from the Whisky Sour

Amaretto becomes the base; bourbon is a 15ml supporter. No sugar needed.

What to pour it alongside

Tiramisu, almond biscotti, a cheese plate with fig.
