We'll see if I can make this a regular feature... You know I loves me some cocktails!
I came up with this drink idea after my parents were cleaning out their liquor cabinet and gave me a bunch of stuff I usually didn't drink: Kahlua, Old Turkey Bourbon, Bailey's, and Disaronno Amaretto. I was a gin-and-tonic girl but I couldn't pass up the free booze!
The best of the bunch, I discovered, was Disaronno Amaretto. I think they've since dropped the "Amaretto" in the name but I still call it that. It's an Italian liqueur with a sweet, nutty flavor, caramel in color.
One day I had some sparkling lemonade around, so I tried mixing the two. De-lish!
Lemoretto
Fill an "old-fashioned" shape glass with ice.
Add 1 part Disaronno liqueur
Add 2 parts Lorina Sparkling Lemonade (the clear or 'white' kind)
Top it off with 1/4th of a lemon, squeezed and dropped into the glass (mind the seeds)
I would stir this before drinking it. Enjoy!

Lordy, this sounds fab. It's similar to the famous (er, in my mind and maybe Jeff Goldstein's as he still sometimes calls me this when referencing the Walnut years) Amber Amour that was on the menu at the infamous Walnut Street Valentine's Day party. As I recall it was Amaretto, Sour Mix and Soda, with some squeezed lemons for good measure (kinda like sparkly lemonade, yeah?). We did not, as I recall, mind the seeds. Somewhere I still have that drink list... Oy.
Happy Friday, doll. Cheers.
Amber Amour! Of course. And yeah, I'm sure we were lucky to get the drink mixture right, nevermind making sure to leave out the seeds... Remember Sun's "mistake" glass that he ended up drinking at the end of the night... omg, getting nauseous now.
