Notes
Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor. Shake vigorously but avoid over-shaking to prevent dilution. Large ice cubes help keep the drink chilled longer without watering it down. Garnish adds aroma and classic look. Simple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness profiles. Amaretto is generally gluten-free but check your brand’s label.
