The Amaretto Sour took the classic “sour” template and wrapped it around almond and stone-fruit character—sweet, tart, and a little dessert-like without turning into a full-on sugar bomb. It’s one of those drinks that looks simple on paper but can be fussy to balance in practice.

VINKA starts with real ingredients and uses a proprietary extraction method to capture the aroma and flavor in a concentrated mixer. Pair it with a simple, easy-to-make base of neutral spirit, water, and sugar, add ice, shake, and you’re pouring an Amaretto Sour-style cocktail in minutes—no amaretto bottle, no citrus squeezing, no egg whites, no extra prep.

In the glass, it shows classic Amaretto Sour character: sweet almond and marzipan notes on the nose, a bright citrus lift, and soft stone-fruit tones underneath. On the palate, it opens with rounded sweetness, pulls into a clean, citrus-driven tang, and finishes smooth and dessert-like without feeling heavy. Each sachet mix yields about 10.1 fl oz before ice; after shaking with ice, the finished pour is typically around 12–13 fl oz, depending on how much ice melts.

• Fast & Consistent: Measure, mix, shake, pour—no amaretto or lemon juggling required.

• Yield: ~10.1 fl oz pre-ice; typically ~12–13 fl oz after shaking (ice melt varies).

• Serve-ready: Just garnish with citrus and a cherry if you want the full sour ritual.

Flavor
Almond and marzipan, soft stone fruit, bright citrus, balanced sweetness, and a smooth, dessert-like finish.

What You’ll Need
For Standard Preparation: 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar, ice, shaker.

For Slushy Preparation: 5x VINKA Amaretto Sour Cocktail Mixer sachets, a 2L-capacity slushy machine, 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar.

Directions (per 1 sachet) — 
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.

1. In a shaker or bottle, add 5 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit + 3.5 fl oz cold water.
2. Add 4 Tbsp granulated sugar. Shake or stir without ice to dissolve. (Sweetness: add a little more or a little less sugar to suit your taste.)
3. Add the entire sachet and about 1 cup of ice (a generous handful). Shake 10–15 seconds, then pour and serve.

Note: Ice melt will dilute the drink a bit (that’s normal and intended).

Slushy Directions (2L batch)
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.

1. Add 14 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit to the slushy machine.
2. Add all 5 VINKA Amaretto Sour Cocktail Mixer sachets.
3. Add about 45 fl oz cold water.
4. Add 1½ cups granulated sugar (24 Tbsp). Mix/recirculate to dissolve.
5. Top with cold water to the 2L / MAX fill line, then run the machine until slushy and serve.

Note: Frozen-drink texture can vary by machine and settings. If it freezes too firm, let it run a bit longer to soften; if it’s too loose, keep chilling until it tightens up.

Serve Suggestion
Serve in a rocks glass over fresh ice; garnish with an orange slice or lemon wedge and a cherry.
