This is quite similar to Grand Army’s Amaretto Sour, but with orange juice.

Made this yesterday as I wanted to test my new magic foamer again, after the Southern Border didn’t go very fluffy, well this was quite a success even if I say so myself and we enjoyed this cocktail very much. But I must say I do have to get the foam out of the shakers and spoon it out in the glasses for a full head. That’s fine by me. Also a reverse shake works best especially since the foam tends to be lost into the ice cubes. Also what I did is added 2 drops for the wet shake then 2 again

My brother and I were just talking about this drink the other day. He said it would be cool if a bar took drinks from the 70's and 80's that were considered bad by todays standards and modified them. I brought up how NoMad did this with a few drinks including the Amaretto sour. Haven't had one in a while, I guess this is my sign.
