Like a Bakewell tart in a glass, the amaretto sour is perfect before or after dinner with its sweet-sharp almond flavour.

Recipe tips

Method

  1. Put 2 coupe or martini glasses into the freezer to chill.

  2. Pour the amaretto, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake well until the shaker feels cold and frosty on the outside.

  3. Strain the mixture into another glass or jug so you can discard the ice from the shaker.

  4. Return the cocktail mixture back to the shaker and shake again really hard, this will froth up the egg white.

  5. Pour into the chilled cocktail glasses and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Recipe tips

Getting the egg white to foam up takes a bit of practice but the good thing is it’s quite a forgiving cocktail - if you pour it into the glasses and you’re not happy with how foamy it is you can simply pour it back into the shaker and give it another shake.

To make the sugar syrup, combine equal weights of sugar and boiling water in a bowl or bottle and stir or shake until the sugar dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool before using.
