Instructions

Dive into a world where the classic amaretto sour gets a luxurious and innovative twist, transforming it into a velvety smooth experience that tantalizes the taste buds with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and rich citrus notes. Served in a chilled old-fashioned glass, this cocktail is not just a drink but a journey through layers of flavor, texture, and aroma. Ingredients: - 2 oz Amaretto (preferably a top-shelf brand for a smoother taste) - 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference) - 1/2 oz Orange liqueur (for a deeper citrus profile) - 1 oz Egg white (for that luxurious velvety texture) - 3 dashes of Angostura bitters (for a hint of spice and complexity) - Ice cubes - Orange zest and a maraschino cherry for garnish Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the Amaretto, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, orange liqueur, and egg white. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 30 seconds. This is to ensure the egg white is properly aerated, contributing to the drink's signature velvety texture. 2. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake again, this time vigorously for about 15 seconds. This step chills the mixture while maintaining the frothy consistency achieved from the dry shake. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass filled with ice cubes, ensuring a smooth pour to maintain the froth. 4. Carefully float 3 dashes of Angostura bitters on top. This not only adds an aromatic quality but also introduces a beautiful layer of complexity to the drink. 5. Garnish with a thin strip of orange zest, expressing its oils over the drink before placing it in and a single maraschino cherry on the side of the glass. The Citrus Amaretto Velvet marries the beloved richness of Amaretto with the fresh, zesty notes of citrus, all while introducing a silky-smooth texture that makes each sip more enjoyable than the last. Ideal for a sophisticated evening or a relaxing moment to indulge in the finer things in life.
