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.
