Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we're diving into a cocktail that's both classic and incredibly satisfying—the Amaretto Sour. This delightful blend of sweet, sour, and almond flavors is perfect for any occasion, and I'm here to guide you through making the best version you've ever tasted.
Let’s start with what you’ll need. The ingredients are simple: 2 ounces of Amaretto liqueur, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and half an ounce of simple syrup. For those who enjoy a frothy top, you can add half an ounce of egg white. It's optional, but it really elevates the texture.
Choosing the right Amaretto is key, and I recommend a high-quality brand like Disaronno for that rich, unmistakable almond flavor. Now, for the lime juice, always go fresh. It makes a world of difference, balancing the sweetness of the Amaretto with that essential sour punch.
Now, let's put it all together. Grab your cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Pour in the Amaretto, lime juice, and simple syrup. If you're using egg white, add that in as well. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also ensures everything is beautifully blended.
Next, strain your Amaretto Sour into a chilled coupe glass. This step is crucial as it keeps out ice shards and ensures a smooth sip every time. For a final touch, garnish with a lime wheel. It adds a touch of elegance and a hint of citrus aroma that complements the drink perfectly.
And there you have it, folks—a classic Amaretto Sour that’s sure to impress. Whether you're enjoying this at a dinner party or sipping it on a quiet evening at home, it’s a cocktail that never disappoints.
Remember, the beauty of mixology is in the experimentation. Feel free to adjust the sweetness with more or less simple syrup, or add a splash of grenadine for a hint of cherry flavor and a stunning color gradient.
