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
This cocktail has been a wonderful addition to my “All-Star” list.
As an All Star, I’ll make minor adjustments, and take notes on the outcomes, until I’ve found what’s perfect for us. For instance, demerara is good – but it adds an extra complexity that might be a distraction, so I’ll give simple syrup a try. Bourbon or rye? A gentler, more rounded whisky, or something that announces its presence with elbows up? The bottom line is that this cocktail is a keeper.
