Master Bartender's Notes

The Sommelier's Assessment.

Appearance

Deep amber gold. The colour of a bourbon barrel at golden hour.

Nose

Warm almond and marzipan lead, followed by citrus brightness and underlying oak.

Palate

Di Saronno's signature cherry-almond profile opens up. The bourbon gives body and warmth.

Mid-Palate

Fresh lemon citrus cuts through the sweetness perfectly. Never cloying.

Finish

Long, warm, slightly sweet. The kind of finish that makes you reach for the pouch again.

"The Amaretto Sour fell out of fashion because most versions were too sweet. Di Saronno and real citrus fixed everything."

The Craft

How It Was Made.

01 / The Spirit

Why Di Saronno.

Di Saronno Originale has been made in Saronno, Italy since 1525. It's the world's most beloved amaretto — cherry-almond, slightly dry, complex. We chose it specifically because inferior amarettos make cloying cocktails. Di Saronno doesn't.

02 / The Technique

The Proportions That Matter.

The Amaretto Sour fell out of fashion when bars started making it too sweet. The reboot — bourbon, real citrus, and Di Saronno in the right proportions — converted every amaretto sceptic. Our recipe was developed with the same bartender discipline: the citrus must cut, the bourbon must ground, the amaretto must sing.

03 / The Result

Nothing Like the Nineties.

A whisky sour with the almond complexity of amaretto, the body of bourbon, and the acid brightness of real lemon. Nothing like the sticky-sweet amaretto sours of the 1990s. Everything like what a serious cocktail bar would pour today.

Common Questions.

Di Saronno Originale is the world's most beloved amaretto liqueur, made in Saronno, Italy since 1525. It has a distinctive cherry-almond profile with a slightly dry finish — very different from generic almond liqueurs. It's the original, and the only one worth using in a serious cocktail.

Yes — premium bourbon, aged in American oak. It provides the body, vanilla notes, and dry counterpoint that balance the amaretto's sweetness. Without the bourbon, it's an amaretto sour. With it, it's an Amaretto Whisky Sour — a noticeably more complex drink.

9.9% ABV — equivalent to 1.0 standard drinks per pouch. That's comparable to a standard glass of wine, delivered as a premium craft cocktail.

MXTology's Activatable Cocktails™ technology includes a patented foam activator that creates the classic whisky sour foam layer when shaken. Traditional whisky sours use raw egg white for foam — our technology achieves the same effect without the egg, and without the food safety concerns. The foam is part of the cocktail experience, and shaking activates it perfectly.

A traditional Amaretto Sour is just amaretto, lemon juice, and sometimes egg white. The Amaretto Whisky Sour adds bourbon, which changes the drink significantly — it adds body, warmth, vanilla, and a dry backbone that prevents the cocktail from becoming cloying. The bourbon is what separates a serious cocktail from a sweet drink.
