Bourbon Amaretto Cocktail is a refreshing bourbon cocktail with the flavor of almond and cherry. Only 4 ingredients needed!
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.

I used Bulleit Bourbon 10, Disaronno, Amarena cocktail cherries, and zero sugar 7-up! Amazing!
You’re making me ant one right now!
I liked it. It hit all the marks and had a boozy nose. I used Maraschino liquor.
indeed, with ginger beer and marachino liqueur it is dynamite!!! (great tip – what would you call it then 😉 )
Substitute sour cherry liqueur for the cherry juice and ginger beer for the Sprite and you have a dynamite cocktail!
Brilliant!! 🥃
I give it a 3, taste kinda flat 2 me
Pretty Good. Now I can make something with the Amaretto !
Just try it straight or on ice! So good! Especially after dinner.
