I think I may have found my new favorite cocktail!
It is so very refreshing and just the perfect little sipping cocktail and is loaded with vitamin C. It doesn’t get any better. Seriously. I like regular amaretto on the rocks as one of those drinks I have occasionally. Actually my boyfriend and I had amaretto on the rocks on our first date. Somehow our conversation during dinner came around to a commercial for Disaronno so we went to the bar after eating and ordered up 2 of those on the rocks. That led to 2 more and to me getting the courage to casually rest my leg next to his on the barstool and he got the message that I was kind of interested in him and not just out for a free meal. And here we are 3 years later.
I got the idea for this cocktail from one of my favorite reality TV shows-Ladies of London on Bravo. I believe the ladies were staying at someone’s castle and Caroline Fleming who is a Baroness of Danish royalty ordered an amaretto on the rocks with fresh squeezed orange juice. I thought it sounded heavenly and it really is. You know how sometimes oj can give too much of an acidic or overpowering taste to a drink? Well, freshly squeezed, it doesn’t and just pairs so well with the amaretto.
Fill a glass with ice and about 5 oz amaretto
Juice 2 oranges and pour into glass and stir.
Enjoy! And think of all that vitamin C!!!!
