The recipe combines amaretto, lemon juice, egg white, and cherry blossom syrup for a pretty pink cocktail.

Ingredients

Here’s what goes into an Amaretto Sour Blossom:

2 oz 60 ml amaretto liqueur
1 oz 30 ml fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz 15 ml simple syrup
1 egg white optional
Cherry and lemon slice for garnish

Amaretto gives the drink its main flavor. Fresh lemon juice adds tartness. Simple syrup balances the sour taste. Meanwhile, egg white creates a silky texture and foam on top.

Instructions

Follow these steps to make the cocktail:

Fill the shaker with ice.

Add amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using).
Shake hard for 10-15 seconds.
Strain into a glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a cherry and lemon slice.

Shaking with ice chills the drink and mixes ingredients. Straining keeps ice chunks out. Meanwhile, the garnish adds a nice touch.

Notes

This drink can be changed in a few ways:

Skip the egg white for a simpler version.
Use orange juice instead of lemon for a sweeter taste.
Add a splash of club soda for fizz.
The recipe makes one serving. Double the amounts to make two drinks. Enjoy responsibly and don’t drink and drive.

Tasting Notes

The Amaretto Sour Blossom cocktail offers a blend of sweet and sour flavors. Its taste starts with a gentle almond sweetness from the amaretto. This is quickly followed by a tangy citrus kick from the lemon juice.

The drink has a smooth, velvety texture. This comes from the egg white, which adds a silky mouthfeel.

Meanwhile, the cocktail is not too heavy, making it easy to sip and enjoy.

There’s a subtle floral note in the background. This comes from the cherry blossom syrup. It adds a light, spring-like flavor that balances the stronger almond and lemon tastes.

The finish is crisp and refreshing. It leaves a pleasant, slightly sweet aftertaste that doesn’t linger too long.

This makes the cocktail a good choice for warm weather or as an after-dinner drink.

Substitute

Can’t find amaretto? No problem. Almond extract makes a good stand-in.

Use 1/4 teaspoon for every ounce of amaretto called for in the recipe. This gives a similar almond flavor without the alcohol.

Other options exist too. Orgeat syrup works well. It’s made from almonds and adds sweetness along with almond taste.

Use the same amount as you would amaretto.

For a non-almond choice, try apricot brandy. It brings fruity notes that blend nicely with the other ingredients.

Use an equal amount to replace the amaretto.

Rum can also work in a pinch. Dark rum adds depth, while light rum keeps things crisp.

Either way, use the same amount as the amaretto called for.

Each substitute will change the drink’s flavor slightly. Adjust other ingredients as needed to balance the taste.
