Review:
This chili-spiced Amaretto Sour originally packed 35ml of chili liqueur. If you're more vindaloo than chicken korma, then go with the original spec., or, if you'er more korma then perhaps go with less than the 25ml I've used.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in October 2020 by Boudewijn Vork at Hotel Boat&Co in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Boudewijn told us, "So I've always really liked the classic Amaretto Sour and I tried to make a twist on it, and after some playing around I found the right taste and specs."
