Amaretto Sour
- 200ml amaretto
- 3-4 lemons, squeezed (120 ml)
- 1 egg white
- a small jar or tin of cherries in syrup
- Ice cubes
Put the amaretto, lemon juice, egg white and 4 teaspoons of cherry syrup into a blender. Here, the ingredients can be poured into a large cocktail shaker. Afterwards, only shake vigorously.
Puree the mixture a few times on high speed until it becomes light in colour and gains volume. If the blender is able to crush ice, a handful can be added. Blend until it becomes cool. Alternatively, the ice can be stirred in later – until the outside of the glass is cold.
Finally, divide the final product between glasses and garnish with cherries.
This list is great for people who want to try out something new. If you have a Friday night to spare, it’s a great opportunity to try one of these cocktails.
