Amaretto Sour Baci


When i was a bartender people always commented that i made the best mixed drinks. One of my requested mixed drinks was my version of the amaretto sour. My “secret” was the addition of 7-up which i think gave the drink a gentle fizz that broke up the syrupy sweetness of the drink. I usually made my own sour mix, which was nothing more then country time lemonade (another “secret”) or would mix lemon juice with some granulated sugar -- and shake vigorously. You can also use store bought sour mix.

Steps


Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice or into a glass that a smaller glass can fit into and shake.
Strain into a highball glass and squeeze the juice from one orange slice into the drink and garnish with the other orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
