Inspired by Cheerwine’s history and its original recipe’s connection to almond flavoring, Tim Nolan of Fair Witness created a festive spin on the classic amaretto sour that brings the brand’s story full circle. His layered holiday cocktail starts with a base of Cheerwine Holiday Punch, then adds rye whiskey and amaretto sour for bold, warming notes and a balance of sweetness and tartness. Finish with a topping of vigorously shaken salted pineapple juice, adding a tropical element that complements the cherry and almond flavors. The result is a creative combination of cherry, almond, whiskey and pineapple that celebrates Cheerwine’s roots while bringing an unexpected twist to holiday entertaining.
