Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz amaretto
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 to 4 ice cubes (for shaking)
  • 1 large ice cube or ice sphere (for serving)
  • 1 Luxardo maraschino cherry
  • 1 thin lemon wheel or half-wheel

Method
 

  1. Combine the egg white, amaretto, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake hard for 15 to 20 seconds.
  2. Add 3 to 4 ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for 10 to 12 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
  3. Place the large ice cube in a rocks glass. Double strain the cocktail slowly over the back of a bar spoon to float the foam on top, then let it settle for 10 seconds.
  4. Lay the lemon wheel on the rim, drop the cherry onto the foam, and serve immediately.

Notes

This drink is best made and served right away since the foam starts to break down after about 10 minutes. If you are making more than 1 at a time, keep the egg white portion separate and add it individually to each shaker so the foam stays fresh.
