Amaretto Ginger Cocktail – Simply Scratch

An Amaretto Ginger Cocktail is a simple adult beverage consisting of amaretto liquor and ginger ale. Serve this cocktail over ice and top with a maraschino cherry. Yields 1 cocktail but can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more.

Looking for a simple cocktail to sip? I’ve got you.

Recently we were out with friends and my longtime friend, Melissa ordered this very drink and I immediately regretted the beer I had ordered. She graciously gave me a sip and afterwards, I ordered my own. And I’ve been making them at home ever since.

It’s the perfect cocktail to sip while reading a book or watching your favorite show or movie. I love the combination of the almond-y flavor with the ginger and the hint of cherry as well as the simplicity of this drink.

Enjoy! And as always, please drink responsibly.

To Make This Amaretto Ginger Cocktail You Will Need:

• ice – To keep the cocktail cold.
• amaretto – An almond flavored liqueur. I like Disaronno.
• ginger ale – Vernors is preferred.
• maraschino cherries – Adds subtle flavor that compliments the amaretto.

Fill a rocks glass with ice.

Pour in 1½ ounces of amaretto over top.

Then fill the glass with Vernors.

This adult beverage is great as is…

…but way better when topped with a maraschino cherry!

This cocktail is deliciously refreshing and so simple.
