My girlfriend just made one for me:

Crushed ice, Amaretto, lemon juice, topped up with orange juice.

It is insanely nice (if a little ghey).

Used to be a favourite of mine...a little too sweet for me these days, but still always a right time and place for one!

I would drop the OJ, and just shake the Amaretto (im guessing you're using Disaronno?) with lemon juice and a dash of angostura.

Nice idea with the angostauras... I was using fresh orange juice so it was quite sharp anyway and then with a big amount of lemon juice.

Was v nice.

should also have half an egg white in there, though i guess that's not going to be to everyone's taste!

The wife absolutely loves these. Can't get them in most bars over here though, a lot of barmen haven't even heard of them!

Best cocktail ever. Had a perfect one in Barcelona at Christmas.

Amazing cocktails!

but it should be done with only Ammaretto, fresh lemon juice, augusta bitters (however you spell it) and an egg white, poured over lots of crushed ice.

Ok, now I really have to try the egg white idea...

I went 2:1:1 amaretto, orange, lemon and a couple of dashes of bitters. Very tasty but I'll back off the lemon a touch for balance I think.

Ping pong restaurants in london used to do Amaretto Wasabi sours, the most amazing drink i've ever tasted, it really worked.
