Amaretto Sour (Serves 1)

Amaretto is one of my sister’s favourite liqueurs, so for one of our many ‘Zoom’ meet ups during Lockdown, I thought it would be fun to ‘share’ an Amaretto cocktail. I researched a few cocktails(!) and this Amaretto Sour was the winner! So here’s to you ‘Auntie Amaretto’!…
(The egg white is optional it just gives the cocktail the extra ‘frothy top’ and will make it a little extra creamy – I must admit that I am quite happy to have it without but a true bartender would probably disagree!…
3 tablespoons Amaretto
1 tablespoon bourbon whisky
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 egg white (optional)
- Add the amaretto, bourbon, lemon juice, bitters and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake for 15 seconds.
- Add the ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake again for 30 seconds.
- Serve in a chilled glass and enjoy!
