So let’s get into this week’s stone sour.
So what we’re going to have is we’re going to use white tequila, also know as Blanco or clear. Disoranno amaretto, not a huge fan of amarettos, I don’t why, it’s just got weird nutty taste to me but I think this will be good. I’ve had stones sour before. I haven’t had this recipe so this is going to be tasted first episode. We also have a high ball glass, minute made orange juice. It’s what I happen to have in the refrigerator, got kids, so we got the kids won. This is the healthy version of the stones sour and sour mix, can’t have stones sour without sweet sour mix. So let’s get going.
We’re going to need to do first; we’re going to do 2 ounces of amaretto. This measures 1 ounce so we’ll do 2, one, two, two ounces of clear tequila. I’m sure you can use reposado if you want to. It just might ruin some of the coloring that you’ll get from the stones sour. So if you don’t care about appearance, personally, reposado’s tasty, might try that. We’ll do this one last so cover 2 more ounces this time we’ll do sweet sour mix. We’re going to mix that up first. Throw that in our glass. Now you could pour it over ice if you want to make it look a little more professional.
Right now we just want to drink. Now we need a splash of orange juice. A technical measurement for splash is a little not too much but not too little, just enough to give it the appearance. Give it a little flavor. So there, we just do a little splash. Now that’s kind of look like an orange juice, almost like a screwdriver. Now at this point you could do, if you have them available, maraschino cherries. I have some; I just forgot to bring them. And a little wedge of orange just to give it a little flair. This, if you just drink it at home, I don’t think you’re going to need a garnish yourself. So let’s give it a try coz I haven’t tried this. That’s pretty good. It’s a, if you don’t like amaretto, don’t be afraid. I’m not a big amaretto drinker either but it’s very subtle.
You can’t, you taste a little nutty almost a cherry flavor. A little tequila in the back and the orange juice adds a little flavor. Don’t think of it as, it looks like a screwdriver; it doesn’t taste like a screwdriver. To me a screwdriver tastes like orange juice. This has a tropical case to it. A little orange, orange peel with a little nut so definitely very refreshing and don’t really taste like alcohol so consider that when you start making this for friends. Take their keys. But it is very tasty.
