Amaretto Almond Sour

Think of the Amaretto Almond Sour as a boozy almond shortbread cookie in a glass. The smooth and nutty flavor of amaretto blends perfectly with the richness of whiskey, balanced by the tartness of lemon juice and the sweetness of honey. The addition of egg white creates a velvety texture, making each sip reminiscent of biting into a decadent dessert.
