Who needs store-bought sour mix when you can make your own for a fraction of the cost! Switch out the bourbon for an Amaretto Sour cocktail.
3/4 oz. lemon juice
1 oz. simple syrup*
2 oz. bourbon**
Ice cubes
Angostura Aromatic Bitters
In a cocktail shaker, combine lemon juice, simple syrup and bourbon. Stir briefly. Add several ice cubes and stir again for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain over an old-fashioned glass containing several additional ice cubes. Garnish with a dash of angostura bitters. Serve.
*To make, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and let cool. Use as needed. Stores covered in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
**To make this an amaretto sour, substitute 2 oz. of amaretto for the bourbon.
