Last summer I went out to lunch with my family and fell in love with a drink called Sweet Mama’s Punch. It’s a delicious cocktail with lots of fruity flavors and Amaretto. Before making that drink at home I had never bought Amaretto but I love it now. I set out to find more to make with it one week and decided I had to start with the classic Amaretto Sour. This is by no means the classic version but it uses elements of a classic amaretto sour and Sweet Mama’s Punch.
A few weeks ago I decided to make up a batch of these while we watched the playoffs. They were so good. I made a few drinks that day but this was our favorite. It’s a great party drink because both men and women love it, as well as people that don’t tend to drink very often. It’s sweet enough that everyone’s happy. You could make a pitcher up before your party and then everyone can just top off their glass with the 7 Up.
These other classic cocktails are a home bartender’s best friend!

Where do you get the sweet and sour mix. What brand is it? Where do you get the Armaretto? Sorry I’m new at this….!

Here in Oregon we can only buy liquor in a liquor store. In Arizona I would just buy it in the liquor section of the grocery store. The same with the sweet and sour mix. You’ll see it near the margarita mix.
