Amaretto is a bit of thug, so I went 40/20 instead.
Delicious with Speyburn.

Found it a bit sweet for a sour - even using half of the sugar syrup. Added another 1/2 measure of Scotch Whisky and it was much more balanced for us (preferring more dry cocktails). Lovely hints of peat smoke from the Whisky and a strong almond falvour. Citrus helps soften the overall cocktail.

This is not only delicious, it's also really good with a strongly peaty single malt Scotch (I used Ardbeg). I love the smokiness but it's a little bit hard to find cocktails that can really stand up to it. This one can.
