An American Amaretto Sour

I came late in life to the delights of alcoholic drinks. Because of that, I am yet to acquire a taste for wine - unless it's a really expensive Marlborough Pinot Gris.

I do however love Cocktails - I fell in love with them instantly, and have a lot of fun trying new ones.

We recently had some American friends visiting, just before Covid19 took over the world, and they introduced us to the delights of an Amaretto Sour. That's why I've called it an American Amaretto, but of course, it's probably universal! That first sip will have you swooning. It's a beautiful summer drink.
