Disaronno Sour

Tart and refreshing, this drink relies on only two ingredients, so make them count. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice (opt for sweet Meyer lemons or lemonade fruit, when in season during the cooler months) for the best result. If your lemons are too sour, you can add a dash of sugar syrup. A traditional sour is made with eggwhite but we’ve omitted it here so the nutty flavour of the amaretto shines through.
