Cocktails with Amaretto & Lemon juice

Amaretto and lemon juice make a sweet, tart, and nutty pairing that works especially well in sour-style cocktails. Amaretto brings almond, vanilla, stone fruit, and rich sweetness, while lemon juice adds the bright acidity needed to keep the drink balanced and refreshing.

Below you’ll find cocktails that use both amaretto and lemon juice, including Amaretto Sour variations, dessert-like citrus drinks, and modern nutty cocktail recipes. This pairing works especially well with bourbon, egg white, orange liqueur, bitters, cherry, apricot, pineapple, and sparkling water.
