History & Origin

The Stone Sour is an approachable sour-format cocktail traditionally made with whiskey, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Substituting amaro in place of the whiskey produces a lighter drink with considerably more herbal and bittersweet complexity, while the orange juice remains as a softening agent. The format is well suited to introducing amaro to guests who are unfamiliar with the category.
