Amaretto Sour (by Jeffrey Morgenthaler)
As the name suggests, this cocktail is dominated by amaretto, with lemon juice providing the sour balancing element and a slug of bourbon giving backbone

Made a while ago, brilliant. Made it last night but with rye and, yup, still absolutely brilliant.

Is this supposed to be brown sugar or brown sugar syrup? (Because ml/oz is an unusual way to measure brown sugar...)

Thanks, Peter. It should indeed say brown sugar syrup. Now corrected.

I made two for a side by side comparison, one with Bulleit Bourbon and one with Tincup Rye. The rye won out for me. Both are very nice. My wife preferred the traditional (no whiskey). I preferred this but with rye.

I love how this recipe is still spectacular with a budget amaretto like Di Amore and a serviceable, if not stellar bourbon like Evan Williams bottled-in-bond. What balance!

Made many a batch of this over the years. Works great with a lot of spirits besides burbon.
Some notable ones are Aberlour A'bunadh, Goslings 151 and DonQ 151 (although in that case omit the sugar), and Chateau de Lacquy 12y.
Give it a spin when feeling adventurous.

I didn't have any bourbon handy, so I used Busker Irish instead. Turned out very nicely.

We had this for the first time last night. I can't believe I haven't made it before. We made it with Billington's muscovado sugar, which you can taste in the resultant cocktail. It was gorgeous. In a rocks glass, with one, giant ice cube. Thoroughly recommend.
