Amaretto Sweet and Sour

"I was craving an amaretto sour sooo bad but was unsure how exactly to make one and none of the recipes here on Zaar sounded quite right so I made up my own. You can adjust the sweet to sour ratio to your tastes by adding more lemon juice or more simple syrup. I know this isn't traditional but it's darn good. Serving size is approximate. I used a tall 'pepsi' glass per person but you could easily split into two smaller glasses. Enjoy."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi there. I'm a 26 year old new Mommy. I have a wonderful son (born 6-3-2008), a 6 year old step daughter and amazing man in my life. I work full time plus some so I am constantly looking for quick and easy dishes that don't compromise on flavor. I try to eat healthy most of the time but I think everyone needs a treat now and then. I'm hoping to get some of my own recipes posted on here but I tend to just throw things together and not measure. I actually started keeping a notepad and pen in the kitchen so I can jot things down as I make them. LOL, I'll let you know what happens. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg">
