Sweet 'n' sour - frothy with an almond buzz. An extra couple of dashes of bitters help balance the drink and add an extra burst of flavour. When made with...
I love sours ... not as they come but as i tune them for more balance .. for this one 50ML Disarorono / 20 ML lemon / 10 ML orgeat syrup.... yummy almond goodness
Made it vegan and somewhat merged this and the Morgenthaler recipe - 45ml amaretto, 5ml bourbon, 25ml lemon, 2.5ml rich brown syrup, 10ml aquafaba. Very nice and foamy, though the lemon was a bit forward and hours later I'm still feeling the acid in my trachea (is this just me? the recipe here calls for a full 30ml...). Hope to try again son with 40ml amaretto/10ml bourbon/15ml lemon/5ml syrup.
Made this for my wife this evening. She loved it, and I was a bit jealous of her when I tried a sip. The sweetness of the Disaronno against the sharp lemon makes for a great drink. Don't be tempted to leave out the egg white, it really makes for a great texture and mouthfeel.
What a fantastic site this is, just tried this as the first sour I’ve ever made it was delicious ? as a newbie to the cocktail world I couldn’t bring myself to add the egg am I missing out ?
Thanks for your kind words. Yes! Egg white smooths and adds mouthfeel. Look for a pasteurised egg white such as the one we sell, or Two Chicks in supermarket fridges, usually near cream.
The Richard Goodwin book makes this with 50% bourbon and 50% amaretto, Lemon juice, angostura, egg white and an optional 5ml of simple syrup. It’s delicious. Drop the angostura on the foam as a part of the garnish.
