With fresh seasonal citrus, this Blood Orange Amaretto Sour is an especially beautiful twist on a classic sour cocktail. It's sweet and tart and boozy, and ohhhh so pretty!

Ingredients

2.25 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
1.5 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice
1.5 ounces amaretto liqueur
.75 ounce bourbon
1 teaspoon simple syrup if desired
Garnish: thin slice of blood orange & a cocktail cherry

Instructions

Add lemon juice, blood orange juice, amaretto, bourbon, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
Fill shaker 2/3 full with ice, cover tightly, and shake for nearly 1 minute to super-chill and dilute.
Strain into a glass over fresh ice.
Garnish with a thin slice of blood orange and a cocktail cherry.

Notes

For the cocktail cherries, I recommend Luxardo cherries, simple stemmed maraschino cherries, or my favorite Amarena cherries from Trader Joe's!
