September: Amaretto sour
The weather cools off in September as we usher in the fall season. The amaretto sour is a perfect drink for your September fun. This is a timeless classic that offers a delightful blend of sweet, sour, and nutty flavors. It's a popular choice for both casual gatherings and upscale bars.
Ingredients:
2 ounces amaretto
1 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Egg white (optional, for a frothier texture)
Lemon wedge for garnish
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using).
Shake: Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to incorporate the ingredients and create a frothy texture.
Strain: Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish: Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Tips:
Egg White: For a smoother texture, use pasteurized egg white. If you prefer a less frothy drink, omit the egg white.
Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less simple syrup.
Sourness: If you like a more tart drink, add a bit more lemon juice.
Temperature: Serve the Amaretto Sour chilled for the best flavor.
