Donna Reed Instructions

The Donna Reed cocktail is a classic drink that exudes elegance and sophistication. Named after the iconic 1950s actress, this cocktail combines the richness of bourbon with the sweetness of amaretto and the tanginess of lemon juice. The result is a well-balanced and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion.

To make a Donna Reed cocktail, you will need 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of amaretto, and ½ ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all the ingredients. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds to ensure that all the ingredients are properly mixed and chilled.

Next, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. You can use a coupe glass or a rocks glass, depending on your preference. If desired, you can garnish the drink with a lemon twist or a maraschino cherry.

The Donna Reed cocktail is the perfect drink to enjoy on a cozy evening or to serve at a sophisticated gathering. Its smooth and balanced flavors make it a crowd-pleaser that will leave everyone wanting another sip. So why not channel your inner 1950s elegance and mix up a batch of Donna Reed cocktails for your next gathering?
