Do any freehuddlers have a recipe for bourbon sours that can be made w/o lemons. All we have in my house is bourbon, amaretto and oranges.

Take some ice cubes. Put them in a glass. Pour the bourbon over the ice. Throw the amaretto and oranges away.!

You can just squeeze the orange into the cocktail instead of lemon juice as the first traces of the drink were made with limes and what makes it a "sour" are the acidic juices from the fruit you use. So yeah, you can just use the bourbon, amaretto and fresh squeeze OJ and keep the traditional orange garnish.
