Answer 1

Amaretto has just over half the proof of bourbon so about 2 shots of Amaretto should do it.

Try making an Amaretto Sour.

1 1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur

1 - 2 splashes sweet and sour mix

Pour the amaretto liqueur into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Add a splash or two of sweet and sour mix, and shake well. Strain or pour into an old-fashioned glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange, and serve.
