A sophisticated and refreshing cherry amaretto sour cocktail featuring a charming heart-shaped ice cube, perfect for romantic occasions or special celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ oz (45 ml) Amaretto Liqueur
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ¾ oz (22 ml) Cherry Syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Splash of Soda Water (about 1 oz / 30 ml)
  • Standard ice cubes for mixing
  • 1 Heart-shaped ice cube for serving
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish
  • Lemon wheel or twist for garnish
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon simple syrup (for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the heart ice cube by filling a silicone heart-shaped mold with filtered water and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  2. Squeeze fresh lemon juice until you have 1 oz (30 ml), then strain to remove seeds and pulp.
  3. Pour 1 ½ oz (45 ml) amaretto into a cocktail shaker.
  4. Add ¾ oz (22 ml) cherry syrup to the shaker, adjusting to taste if desired.
  5. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the shaker.
  6. Fill the shaker about halfway with standard ice cubes.
  7. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  8. Place one large heart-shaped ice cube into a rocks glass.
  9. Strain the cocktail over the heart ice cube.
  10. Add a splash of soda water (about 1 oz / 30 ml) to the glass.
  11. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a lemon wheel or twist on the rim.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Use filtered water for clear heart-shaped ice cubes. Shake the cocktail rather than stir to aerate and chill properly. Fresh lemon juice is essential for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup if needed. Store mixed cocktail without ice in the fridge up to 24 hours; add fresh ice and soda water before serving.
