Amaretto Sour

Welcome back, or if it’s your first time here, take a seat, and I’ll fix you a drink.

Today, we are going to look at an Amaretto Sour.

This drink was originally a marketing ploy from the 1970s, which has adjusted and reverted over the years.

This recipe is close to the original, adjusted for more modern palettes.

Let's start with some ingredients:

• 1.5 oz Amaretto
• 3/4 oz Cask-proof Bourbon
• 1 oz Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Rich Simple Syrup (2:1)
• 1/2 oz egg white

What Glass should I use,…

• Rocks

What hardware do I need?

• Shaker
• Strainer

Ice

• Crushed / pebble
• or mid-size cubes

Garnish

• Citrus twist
• 2 Cherries, skewered

Directions - Let's do this; let's make a drink!

Add all the ingredients to an empty shaker (no ice).

Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

Add ice and shake again for at least 30 seconds or until well chilled.

Strain into your Rocks glass over fresh ice.

Garnish and serve.

Enjoy

Tips

If you don’t want to add egg whites, which is understandable, orgeat will retain the texture and flavor. However, you will lose the foam.

You can also buy products like ‘Miraculous Foamer,’ which creates vegan foam in cocktails.
