Bourbon Amaretto Cocktail

 

This is an easy cocktail for bourbon lovers and for those who aren’t sure about bourbon, this cocktail will make you a fan.

A little maraschino cherry juice and some Amaretto give this cocktail plenty of sweet flavor. The almond and cherry flavors really complement the bourbon.

There are a lot of great bourbons out there, but I like to use Makers Mark or Four Roses.

Bourbon Amaretto Cocktail is a cocktail you’ll enjoy year round but it’s especially refreshing for summer. It’s an easy, fuss-free cocktail that’s perfect for serving at a backyard bbq.

To make them, mix bourbon, amaretto, and cherry juice together in a pitcher. You can easily double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd.

Next, fill 2 glasses with ice. Pour enough bourbon mixture into each glass to fill it halfway then add Sprite to fill the glass. Garnish with an orange slice and some cherries.
