Amaretto Rose

Pro tips

• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer without over-diluting.
• Pour club soda last and gently to preserve carbonation and maintain a crisp finish.
• Use fresh ice to avoid excessive dilution; larger cubes melt more slowly than crushed ice.
• Taste as you pour club soda—adjust the ratio based on preferred sweetness and fizz level.

Substitutions

• Rose's Lime Juice → fresh lime juice + simple syrup (adds tartness; adjust sweetness to taste)
• Amaretto → almond extract + vodka (if unavailable; use sparingly, extract is potent)
• Club Soda → tonic water (changes flavor profile; adds quinine bitterness)

Storage & make-ahead

Mix amaretto and lime juice in a bottle and refrigerate up to 3 days; add club soda fresh when serving.

Can I make this without Rose's Lime Juice?

Yes, fresh lime juice works but will taste less sweet. Use ½ oz fresh juice plus ¼ oz simple syrup to replicate Rose's sweetness.

Should this be shaken or stirred?

Stir briefly with ice to chill, or shake if you prefer a frothier texture. The club soda adds carbonation either way.

What glassware is best for this drink?

Serve in a highball or rocks glass over ice. A coupe glass works too if serving without ice.

Can I make a batch ahead?

Mix amaretto and lime juice in advance, but add club soda just before serving to preserve carbonation.
