1. Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat source; cool for 30 minutes. Stir in espresso and amaretto and pour into a 1-quart freezer-proof container.
2. Freeze, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring and scraping sides every 20 minutes or so. Cover and freeze, without stirring for 4 hours or until firm.
3. Let stand at room temperature for 5- 10 minutes before serving. To serve, scrape with a spoon into chilled cordial glasses or large shot glasses.
