How to make an Amaretto Rose

To make an Amaretto Rose, build over ice in a highball glass: 1½ oz Amaretto, ½ oz lime juice and 3 oz club soda.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

  2. 2

    Pour in amaretto and lime juice.

    Top with club soda.

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the club soda fizzy.
