Amaretto Sours
I recommend doubling this recipe as it goes fast at parties. Also make up at least 2 days before serving in order for it to freeze in time.

Step-by-step
- Mix all ingredients together and freeze in a plastic container.
Ingredient measurements alone cannot explain how sugar content alters freezing points in alcohol-based mixtures. High sugar concentrations prevent liquids from turning solid in a standard household freezer, resulting in a slushy texture rather than a hard block. Controlling this requires attention to proportions and container selection.
- Use a shallow food-grade plastic container with a tight-fitting lid to maximize surface area and speed up the freezing process.
- Allow at least 48 hours of freezing time at 0 degrees Fahrenheit before expecting the proper slush consistency.
- Substitute lemon-lime soda with sparkling water at a 1:1 ratio if you need to reduce the final sweetness of the beverage.
- Stir the mixture vigorously with a fork every 12 hours during the first day of freezing to break up ice crystals.
- Store the container for up to two weeks in the freezer without separation occurring between the liqueur and the mixer.
Visual cues indicate when the texture is ready for serving. Spoon the mixture into glassware when it yields easily to a utensil and holds a soft mound without pooling into liquid.
