Well, I've been a little overwhelmed lately, so I figured a nice "cocktail" at the end of the evening (after putting all of the kids to bed, my nephew included) sounded quite good! We're watching my nephew this week, which will be interesting, to say the least! He's an absolute doll, but when you get he and my son together (they're 5 months apart), there tends to be quite a bit of bickering. I knew it would be pretty irresponsible on my part to have a nice, strong drink (as I needed), so I chose to have an Amaretto Stone Sour--just enough to take the edge off :) This is a great drink for those of you out there who don't care for beer (like myself) or who don't care for a real strong liquor taste (as something with tequila may have). While my husband probably won't admit this to many people, it's one of his favorite drinks! Oops...did I say that out loud?!? It's probably not the most "manly" drink, but it's so good and easy to make! (Please excuse the picture...it was taken pretty late last night!)
Amaretto Stone Sour
2 ounces Amaretto
2 ounces Sweet and Sour Mix
2 ounces Orange Juice
Directions:
Fill glass with ice and add all ingredients--you can add more of each, if you want a taller glass...just make sure to do equal proportions! Stir well and garnish as desired.
Also good with a little seltzer water for fizz. ;)
ReplyDeleteI never thought to try that...sounds like it would be a good addition!!!
ReplyDeletethat sounds good hope your week is ok, take a deep breath they are sleeping he he
ReplyDeleteI could so go for one of these right now!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Should we be worried that you're mixing drinks on his first night there? It could be a VERY long week! :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I could surely use one of these!!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI used to loooove these...but haven't had one in a long time. Looks good :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Maybe I should start drinking!
ReplyDeleteThis was the drink of choice for my mother-in-law's best friend, a wonderful feisty funny lady who sadly passed away last year. I can't see a drink like this without thinking of her.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, even though I get sentimental whenever I see one, I've never actually had one. You reminded me to make/order one soon!
Oooh, that does sound refreshing. Just need to buy OJ, and I'll be whisked away. Is it the weekend yet?
ReplyDeleteMmmm! I love amaretto sours and with the OJ added? Just kicked it up a notch!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had an amaretto sour in years... this sound awesome!!
