Amaretto Sour w/ Prosecco

We took a break from the wine tonight and made one of our favorite summer time drinks instead. The Amaretto Sour with Prosecco is a recipe we found last year from Giada de Laurentiis of the Food Network. The recipe can be found here... It's one of our favorites and tonight was the first time we've made it this summer. We adjusted the recipe to make a pitcher, using a full bottle of Prosecco (we used the Lunetta Prosecco from Cavit), about 8 tablespoons of Amaretto, 8 tablespoons of simple syrup, and juice from a couple of lemons. Then we added a sugar rim to the glasses with sugar, lemon zest, and lime zest.

We really need to make this more often. The only problem with this drink is that it's a little too good. Krista and I drank the whole pitcher in less than an hour. Next thing I knew we were having a dance party with the kids in the family room. The boys love the Kidz Bop!!
