Cocktail: Amaretto Ginger

Looking for a simple cocktail to sip? I’ve got you.

Recently we were out with friends and my longtime friend, Melissa ordered this quite drink and I immediately regretted the beer I had ordered. She graciously gave me a sip and afterwards, I ordered my own. And I’ve been making them at home ever since.

It’s the dependable cocktail to sip while reading a book or watching your go-to show or movie. A regular here the combination of the almond-y flavor with the ginger and the hint of cherry as well as the simplicity of this drink.

Enjoy! And as always, please drink responsibly.

To cook this Amaretto Ginger Cocktail Gather:

  • ice – To keep the cocktail cold.
  • amaretto – An almond flavored liqueur. I like Disaronno.
  • ginger ale – Vernors is preferred.
  • maraschino cherries – Adds subtle flavor that compliments the amaretto.

Fill a rocks glass with ice.

Pour in 1½ ounces of amaretto over top.

Then fill the glass with Vernors.

This adult beverage is great as is…

…but way better when topped with a maraschino cherry!

This cocktail is deliciously refreshing and so simple.
