The Amaretto Stone Sour is a bright, refreshing twist on the classic Amaretto Sour. It blends the sweet, almond-rich character of Amaretto with the tanginess of sour mix and the sunny freshness of orange juice, creating a balanced and incredibly drinkable cocktail served over ice in a Collins glass.
