A True Amaretto Sour.
Amaretto: Missing
Lemon: Missing

This pared-back Amaretto Sour uses the liqueur's own sweetness to balance freshly squeezed lemon. There is no added spirit or egg white, so its texture stays relatively light. Shaking with ice chills and dilutes the mixture before it is poured over fresh ice and finished with a maraschino cherry.
