Preparation
Instructions
0/5
Étape 1
Préparation des ingrédients Pour commencer, préparez tous vos ingrédients. Pressez un citron pour obtenir environ 25 ml de jus frais. Si vous optez pour un sirop de sucre maison, vous pouvez le préparer en mélangeant 1 part d'eau et 1 part de sucre, puis chauffez jusqu'à dissolution du sucre.
Étape 2
Secouer le cocktail Dans un shaker, versez l’Amaretto, le jus de citron frais, le sirop de sucre et le blanc d'œuf. Ajoutez une poignée de glaçons dans le shaker. Fermez le shaker et secouez vigoureusement pendant environ 10 à 15 secondes. Si vous utilisez un blanc d'œuf, cela va donner une texture onctueuse et une mousse légère sur le cocktail.
Étape 3
Filtrage Après avoir bien secoué votre mélange, ouvrez le shaker et filtrez le tout dans un verre à cocktail préalablement rempli de glaçons. Vous pouvez utiliser un tamis fin ou une passoire pour vous assurer que le mélange soit parfaitement lisse.
Étape 4
Décoration Pour la touche finale, ajoutez une tranche de citron sur le bord du verre, ainsi qu'une cerise au marasquin pour une garniture classique et élégante.
Étape 5
Dégustation Servez immédiatement et dégustez votre Amaretto Sour maison. La combinaison de l'amaretto et du citron est rafraîchissante et parfaitement équilibrée.

Chef's tips for making this recipe
Can a non-alcoholic Amaretto Sour recipe be made?
Yes. It is entirely possible to make a non-alcoholic Amaretto Sour recipe. To replace the Amaretto, you can use almond syrup (or orgeat) mixed with a little cherry juice or almond extract. The taste is similar, but without alcohol. This is an excellent option for children, pregnant women, or simply for those who want a festive cocktail without alcohol.
What ingredients to use for a non-alcoholic Amaretto Sour?Here is a simple version:
Is egg white necessary in an Amaretto Sour?60 ml of almond syrup (or apricot syrup)
What is the difference between a classic Amaretto Sour and a non-alcoholic one?30 ml of fresh lemon juice
15 ml of cherry or pineapple juice (optional, for taste and color)
1 egg white (optional, for the foam)
You can mix everything in a shaker with or without egg depending on the desired texture.
No. The egg white is used to add a light foam on top of the cocktail, but it is not essential. You can certainly omit it for a lighter version, or use a plant-based substitute like aquafaba (chickpea juice) if you want a foam without eggs.
The classic one contains Amaretto, an Italian almond liqueur, while the non-alcoholic one uses a similar-tasting syrup. The taste is a bit less complex, but remains sweet, fruity and pleasant in the mouth.
