Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer without over-diluting from melting ice.
Add club soda last and stir gently to preserve carbonation and effervescence.
Use fresh ice; cloudy or old ice can introduce off-flavors and dilute the balanced flavor profile.
Taste and adjust sour mix ratio based on sweetness preference — some sour mix brands vary significantly.

Substitutions

Sour mix → fresh lemon + lime juice blend (1:1 ratio, adjust sweetness with simple syrup)
Club soda → tonic water (adds bitterness, changes flavor profile noticeably)
Amaretto → almond liqueur or other nut-based liqueurs (maintains similar sweetness)

Storage & make-ahead

Cocktails are best consumed immediately. Pre-batch the amaretto and sour mix in a sealed pitcher up to 8 hours; add club soda and ice individually per serving.
