Instructions

Description: Celebrate the flavors of spring with this Italian-inspired amaretto sour. The Primavera Sour Almond Twist incorporates freshly squeezed citrus, a touch of elderflower for a floral note, and a blend of herbs to embody the season. It's a refreshing, herbaceous variation with a sweet almond undertone. Ingredients: - 2 oz Amaretto (Italian almond liqueur) - 1 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - 3-4 Fresh basil leaves - 2 Fresh mint leaves - 1 oz Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine) - Edible flowers (violets or pansies) for garnish - Lemon twist for garnish Instructions: 1. In a shaker, gently muddle the fresh basil and mint leaves with the lemon juice to release their flavors. Be careful not to over-muddle, as you want to express the oils without turning the herbs bitter. 2. Add amaretto, elderflower liqueur, and simple syrup to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice, and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into an ice-filled rocks glass or an elegant coupe glass. 5. Top with Prosecco to add a sparkle and further lift the flavors. 6. Garnish with an edible flower and a lemon twist, delicately perched on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy a sip of Italian spring in a glass.
