The Italian Amaretto Margarita recipe is a blended margarita that’s easiest to make in batches that serve four. It adds amaretto to the familiar margarita flavors of lime and orange, with a little sugar.

The result is a combination of citrus and rich almond notes, which is heavenly. It’s kind of like an Amaretto Sour, but slushy with limeade and orange instead of lemon.

This is a wonderful drink to cool down with on a hot afternoon. It also makes a great dessert drink.
