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
I like this, but prefer slightly less bourbon (actually, I use rye whiskey) - 3/4 oz. Then I follow another recipe more similar to the original recipe that adds a barspoon of demerara sugar - although I put more like a 1/4 oz. And as I have less whiskey, I put a scant 3/4 oz of lemon juice in. It really is a delicious autumnal drink!
