Ingredient Notes
- Amaretto is a sweet almond-flavored liqueur that’s perfect for cocktails. Look for a high-quality brand such as Disaronno, which has a distinct nutty and sweet flavor and is widely available at most liquor stores.
- Lemon juice is used in the classic cocktail, Amaretto Sour, to balance the sweetness of the amaretto and to add a fresh, citrusy flavor to the cocktail. It does the same for an Amaretto Fizz. Use a squeeze of fresh lemon juice rather than bottled juice, which will taste much better in this cocktail.
- Soda water adds a bubbly and effervescent quality to the drink, as well as a subtle flavor that compliments the amaretto liqueur.
- Garnish with lemon and maraschino cocktail cherries. This will add a pop of color and a burst of flavor to the drink. When using maraschino cocktail cherries, make sure to opt for a high quality one, like Luxardo, instead of the bright red cheap maraschino cherries.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 3: Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake until well chilled.
Step 4: Strain into a cocktail glass.
Step 5: Top with soda water.
Step 6: Garnish with cherries and a lemon slice, if desired.

FAQ
Can I use lime juice instead of lemon juice?
Yes, you can use lime juice instead of lemon juice in a Disaronno Fizz if you prefer the taste of lime or don’t have lemon juice on hand. Lime juice has a similar tartness and citrusy flavor to lemon juice and can work just as well in this cocktail.
Just keep in mind that it will give the drink a slightly different taste and color. You may want to adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste preferences and garnish with a lime wedge instead of a lemon slice.
How do you store amaretto?
To ensure that amaretto stays fresh and maintains its quality, it’s best to store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A pantry or cupboard is a good option.
Once opened, the bottle should be tightly sealed and stored upright to prevent the alcohol from evaporating or oxidizing. Opened amaretto can be stored for up to 6 months, as long as it’s stored properly.
What kind of soda water should I use in an amaretto fizz?
When making an Amaretto Fizz, it’s best to use plain soda water or club soda, as they don’t have any added flavorings or sweeteners. This will ensure that the soda water doesn’t overpower the nutty and sweet flavor of the amaretto liqueur.
Using chilled soda water will ensure that the drink is as refreshing as possible. If you prefer a stronger carbonation, you can use a SodaStream to make your own soda water at home.
