Amaretto Sour (Reconstructed)

Credit: Jeffrey Morgenthaler, Educated Barfly

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz Lazzaroni Amaretto
3/4 oz bourbon
1 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz 2:1 demerara syrup
1 egg white


Directions

Dry shake all ingredients, then add a large ice cube and shake again until it’s chilled. Strain and pour into a coupe glass. You can also serve it in a rocks glass over a large cube of ice.


Notes

This is delightful! And dangerously easy to drink. Confession: I made one for me and my husband, so doubled the recipe, which might have reduced the foam. Also, I didn’t have quite enough lemon juice, so had to sub in a bit of lime juice! Even so, it all worked. Lazzaroni is infused with those same cookies in the red tin. An adult echo of a childhood memory. :-)

Update

This drink works just fine over a large ice cube—better in fact, as it stays cold longer!
