| Ingredients: |
| 60 ml (2 oz) Amaretto |
| 30 ml (1 oz) Lime Juice |
| 30 ml (1 oz) Simple Syrup |
| Lemon Twist |
| Maraschino Cherry |
| 1 cup Ice Cubes |

- Take chilled rock glass (old-fashioned glass) and put 4-5 ice cubes in it, pour cocktail over it.
- Drop lemon twist and maraschino cherry in the drink as garnish and serve.
Tips and Variations:
- If simple syrup is not available, then use bar sugar or superfine sugar. If you are using sugar, then shake the cocktail little longer to make sure that sugar dissolves completely.
- Add a splash of lemon lime soda like Sprite or 7 up in top of cocktail for more zing.
- Add a splash of orange juice or pineapple juice for little more citrus flavor.
- If you find this cocktail a bit bitter, then add more lime juice to balance out its bitterness.
- You can use sour mix instead of lime juice and simple syrup.
