Amaretto is a sweet, almond-flavoured liqueur, made from a base of apricots, almonds or sometimes both.
The amaretto sour is a classic cocktail, but most people don’t know that the original recipe calls for raw egg whites. Being sticklers for tradition we use egg whites in our mix but you can always leave this ingredient out.
