Ingredients

To step

Method 1 of 2: Basic Amaretto Sour

1. Fill the cocktail shaker about halfway with ice cubes.
2. Pour the amaretto into the shaker. Some people insist on making the Amaretto Sour with one part Amaretto and one part sour (i.e. 25 ml. Fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp. Syrup and the whipped egg white). Others prefer an Amaretto Sour with two parts Amaretto and one part "sour". This depends on your personal preference: do you like a sweet-sour or a creamy nutty taste? Although you can use any type of Amaretto, Lazzaroni and DiSaronno are the most flavorful.
3. Add the lemon juice, syrup and egg whites mixture.
4. Shake well so that all ingredients are well mixed together.
5. Pour the mixture into a glass with ice cubes. This makes the drink taste nice and cool.
6. Garnish the cocktail. You can use an orange slice, a lemon wedge or one / two Maraschino cherries for this.
7. Serve the cocktail. Enjoy this cocktail as a stand-alone treat or in combination with some fruit, dessert or other sweets.

Method 2 of 2: Luxury Amaretto Sour

1. Put all ingredients in the shaker and shake well. All you need is the Amaretto, the Bourbon, the lemon juice, the syrup and the whipped egg whites. Shake for at least 15 seconds to allow all ingredients to mix well.
2. Put some finely chopped ice in the shaker and shake again. This will cool the mixture.
3. Drain the mixture into a glass with ice cubes in it. This drink is best served in an old-fashioned cocktail glass. For an extra sweet touch you can dip the rim of the glass in lemon juice and then in sugar.
4. Garnish the cocktail. You can garnish this Amaretto Sour with a lemon wedge or some Maraschino cherries.

Necessities

• One glass per person or a carafe if the group consists of many people.
