Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ice
  • 1 1/2 oz amaretto liqueur
  • 1 1/2 oz sweet and sour mix store-bought or homemade
  • Lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP, to top up

Method
 

  1. Make Sweet and Sour Mix (Optional): If you’re in a pinch, the store-bought version works. Homemade is better, and it freezes well for later.
  2. Fill a glass with plenty of ice. Warm drinks are sad drinks.
  3. Pour equal parts amaretto liqueur and sweet and sour mix over the ice — about 1 1/2 ounces each per glass.
  4. Add lemon-lime soda to fill the glass and give it bubbles. No need to measure — eyeball it.
  5. Mix just enough to combine without killing the carbonation.
