A Piece of Ass
A playful and sweet party cocktail that combines the nutty flavor of Amaretto with the spiced fruit notes of Southern Comfort, balanced by a tart splash of sour mix. Served tall over ice, it is an easy-to-drink highball perfect for casual gatherings.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by marzipan and stone fruit. It has a syrupy mouthfeel with aggressive flavors of candied almond, peach, and citrus. The finish is heavy and coating with a lingering sugared lemon aftertaste.
