Amaretto is known for its vibrant almond flavor and sweetness, but in the Amaretto Sour, this sweetness is perfectly balanced by lemon juice, while the heady aroma and flavor of almonds remain intact. In this version of the cocktail, they are harmoniously complemented by the light fruity notes of Prosecco, which also adds a sparkling and refreshing touch. Perfect for summer! Garnish the rim of the glass with a sugar rim and citrus zest and serve with ice cubes and lime and lemon wedges.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup water
• 0.5 cup sugar + 1/4 cup sugar for garnishing the rim of the glass
