Classic Easy Amaretto Sour
Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Preparation of ingredients To begin, prepare all your ingredients. Squeeze a lemon to obtain approximately 25 ml of fresh juice. If you choose to make simple syrup at home, you can prepare it by mixing 1 part water and 1 part sugar, then heat until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Shaking the cocktail In a shaker, pour the Amaretto, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds. If you use an egg white, it will give a creamy texture and a light foam on the cocktail.
Step 3
Straining After shaking your mixture well, open the shaker and strain the entire mixture into a cocktail glass previously filled with ice cubes. You can use a fine strainer or a sieve to ensure that the mixture is perfectly smooth.
Step 4
Garnishing For the final touch, add a lemon slice on the rim of the glass, as well as a maraschino cherry for a classic and elegant garnish.
Step 5
Tasting Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Amaretto Sour. The combination of amaretto and lemon is refreshing and perfectly balanced.
