Description: A fruitier, boozier Amaretto Sour that adds bourbon and orange juice to the classic almond-and-citrus base.

Cultural Background: Rose to popularity in the 1970s-80s American bar scene as a slightly more elaborate cousin of the standard Amaretto Sour.

Tips: Fresh orange juice makes a real difference against bottled.

Variations: Adjust the amaretto-to-bourbon ratio to taste; more amaretto leans sweeter and nuttier.

Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice as a fruity, well-rounded sour.
