Amaretto and Lime with Shaved Ice

The Amaretto and Lime with Shaved Ice is a refreshingly chilled liqueur cocktail combining the nutty sweetness of Amaretto with bright lime juice, served over finely shaved ice. The lime twist garnish adds aroma and a citrusy accent.

Instructions

  1. To crush the ice, put cubes in a clean towel and bash with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin.
  2. To shave the ice, put cubes in a blender and pulse until desired size.
  3. For the lime twist, remove the flesh and pith from some lime peel and cut a thin strip (twist this into the final drink). Alternatively, either a canelle knife with a parer or a zester with a twist cutter can be used.
  4. Place amaretto, ice and lime juice in shaker and shake.
  5. Pour contents into glass and garnish with lime twist.
