Amaretto Rose

Pro tips

• Use fresh ice to prevent dilution and keep the drink cold longer
• Pour club soda last to preserve carbonation and create a layered appearance
• Chill your glass with ice water before serving for maximum refreshment
• Adjust sweetness by varying the ratio of amaretto to lime juice based on preference

Substitutions

• Rose's Lime Juice → fresh lime juice (use 1/2 oz fresh lime juice + 1/4 tsp simple syrup for similar sweetness)
• Club Soda → ginger ale (adds spice and subtle sweetness)
• Club Soda → tonic water (adds botanical bitterness)
• Amaretto → almond syrup (for a non-alcoholic version)

Storage & make-ahead

Cocktails are best consumed immediately. Pre-batch amaretto and lime juice in a bottle, then add ice and club soda when serving.

Can I make Amaretto Rose without club soda?

You can substitute club soda with ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or tonic water for a different flavor profile, though the drink will be less refreshing.

What type of amaretto works best?

Standard almond-flavored amaretto (like Disaronno or Luxardo) works well. Avoid almond extract, which is too concentrated.

How should I serve this cocktail?

Serve over ice in a highball or rocks glass. Chill the glass beforehand for best results.

Is there a non-alcoholic version?

Yes—substitute amaretto with almond syrup or orgeat syrup, then combine with Rose's Lime Juice and club soda for a virgin version.

Can I batch this drink for a party?

Yes. Mix amaretto and Rose's Lime Juice in advance, then add club soda and ice just before serving to maintain carbonation.
