From the tangy balance of the Amaretto Sour to the smooth sophistication of the Godfather (Amaretto and Scotch) and dessert-like creations such as the Toasted Almond, these cocktails are versatile, comforting, and crowd-pleasing. Whether enjoyed as a cozy nightcap or a lively party pour, Amaretto brings a touch of Italian indulgence to the glass.
